CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Making the Senior National Team for Jamaica as a Team Captain
What makes you different?
The determination I have is outstanding. I am the only gymnast in my country to be pursuing gymnastics at this level, along with keeping up academically in school. I stood as a lone soldier and conquered these challenges that came my way.
Why do you want to compete in college?
Goals:
To represent my country at international competitions at the highest level and to dominate throughout my college gymnastics career whilst earning a bachelor’s degree at the same time.
What is your favorite event and why?
My favorite event to compete is floor exercise because it allows me to dance or put on a show for the audience, which is something I also love to do.
