Interview
What makes you different?
I know what making sacrifices feels like. All the accomplishments that I have for the past 12 years have been done without us having an indoor pool to train at meaning we have done our preparation all around the world. Judging by that I would say I’m a hard worker.
Why do you want to compete in college?
The best way to progress is by being in a competitive environment and there is no better place than America.
College goals
Graduating with honors, being one of the top athletes in the country and meeting new people.
Diving and life Goals?
I want to qualify for the Olympics making a name for myself on an international scale. About my life goals is to travel the world, making my family and friends proud. Being able to provide for myself and honestly being healthy and happy.
