I Hope My Legacy Will Be: Having Fun and enjoying swimming. Swim Teams are as close knit as it gets and the friends you make while swimming are friends you make for a life time.

Most Embarrassing Moment as A Swimmer: First time I missed an event my freshman year of high school. I got chewed out royally and never missed an event ever again. Favorite Practice Set Of All Time: Christmas naughty or nice practice. We had to pull pieces of paper out of a swim cap and if it said naughty or nice, we got a fun set or a grueling set. The Most Important Thing I've Learned Through Swimming For My Team: It never helps to get stressed out. Just dive of the block and just have fun.

Memorable Coaches' Phrase(s) Or Moments(s): "Sometimes it's not about what you want to do but rather where you'll do the team the most good." from almost all my coaches.
Favorite Non-Swimming Activity: Trying to find a diner that will serve waffles and pancakes together on the same plate
