What is a challenge you're glad you faced?
I was out of water most of the 2025-2026 swim season with a concussion. While being out of the water it helped me take a step back and regrow my relationship and passion with this sport. During that time I learned how much I take it for granted. After being cleared to fully swim again, I had a new spark within me. This pushed me to go all in at practice every day and not just give it my all, but push my teammates next to me to get better as well. By doing this, I recognized that my teammates are the ones who truly make this sport special and I wouldn’t be where I am without them.
