Interview

What makes you different?

What makes different is the unique characteristics I possess. I am very dedicated. I don’t make compromises in order to achieve my goals. I am obstinate with strong temper, that is seen in competition and out of it when I practice. I am a maximalist who is trying to be the best version of herself.

College goals

I believe college will help me grow and become a thinking person ready for life.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I started swimming when I was 8 years old. Later on I was invited and went to a sports school. I think that my next step must be in one of the most competitive environments - college swimming. So, I decided to combine my studies and future career in swimming and go to college.

Swimming and life Goals?

I would like to be a professional swimmer and qualify for the next Olympic Games. About the life goals - I want to make friends around the world, graduate with honors and be financially stable.
