What is your most memorable swimming/diving moment? Why?
My most memorable moment in swimming was when I got my first Sectional cut at 14 at the Holiday Festival meet in Chandler, Arizona. I had missed the cut in the 200 breaststroke by 0.06 at a previous meet and was determined to get it. It was one of the best meets of my life. I got all best times, however, the best part was reaching my goal of getting my first Sectional cut.

What separates this USD team from the competition?
The USD team is very unified and the girls support each other. The USD team is like one big family and we are all rooting for each other.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
In 10 years I see myself as a successful designer. I will still be swimming and doing Crossfit constantly because I love to push myself; and I will probably open up my own business.
