I began swimming at the age of 10 and love both the individual and team aspect of the sport. I find accomplishment when challenging (and being challenged by) my teammates and am at my best when the competition is toughest.
In addition to my High School & Club team competition, I have been a member of the Atlantic City Beach Patrol for the past two years & compete in several open water races as part of the South Jersey Lifeguard Racing Association representing my patrol.
In August of 2022, I was part of a 4 man relay that won the annual Jim Whelan Around the Island Swim. It is 22.75 miles around Absecon Island (Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate & Longport). It was a grueling but tremendous experience shared with 3 other high school swimmers on area beach patrols.
This past season (my Junior year) I experienced significant time drops in many events. This makes me believe that I still have not reached my full potential of what I can achieve.
My GPA is currently a 3.37
At present, I am undecided with regard to my major, but am considering Business Administration or Criminal Justice. I also enjoy working with animals and the environment
I've created a playlist of my junior season highlights:
