University of San Diego
Fourth year swimmer for the Toreros
What is the most memorable moment in your USD swimming or diving career?
My most memorable moment on the USD swim team so far was when I made the finals at conference in the 400 I.M. with a personal best time. After battling through a foot injury my freshman year, it was such a great accomplishment to come back from that and have a great season-ending swim.
What is your favorite pump-up song/music that you listen to?
I don[apos]t listen to a lot of rap, but for some reason it really gets me pumped up when I listen to rap before a race.
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
I[apos]ve been very fortunate to travel to many different places all over the world, but there[apos]s not one place that I frequent. A few of my favorite places I[apos]ve been to include: Washington DC, San Francisco, and countries in Europe such as Ireland, England, Italy, and France.
What hobbies do you have?
I love all sports- whether it be playing or watching them. I enjoy playing tennis, snowboarding, water-skiing, wakeboarding, running, hiking, and pretty much all outdoor activities. I love being active, but it[apos]s also fun to support other teams and players that I care about.
What is your favorite color?
My favorite color is yellow, because it is so bright and cheerful!
