I am not only dedicated to improving my skills but also encouraging my teammates to perform their best. My coaches have commented on my ability to pick up new and harder tricks at a fast rate. For example, I learned an inward 2 1/2 in under a week. I learned it Monday and when I competed it Friday I got 8's. The 2020/21 season was difficult due to it starting late (January) and being cut short. Even though the season was significantly shorter I was able to learn more complicated dives in a short amount of time. Academically I stayed on track even though we were online and unable to come back in-person until April. My collegiate goals include being the first person in my family to compete in athletics at the college level and promote the sport of Men's Diving. I want to pursue a degree in Business with a minor in public speaking so I can effectively communicate and share my ideas.
