Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Determined, resilient, committed, passionate, consistent.
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
One of the best memories of my athletic career was being part of the relay team that broke a 17 year old Wellington record in the 18&U 4 x 50m Freestyle relay at Short Course Nationals. We were all so nervous as lots of the teams we were competing against were way older and faster than us, but we hyped each other up, got into that positive racing mindset, and all ended up swimming PB’s.
Goals:
I enjoy training and competing very much, so my goals are to continue swimming at the highest level I can achieve for as long as possible.
Anything else we should know?
I am a squad level coach as well as a volunteer club level coach at my current swim club.
