My desire is play water polo at a collegiate level to further my educational and career goals. I play a specialized position which constantly forces me to adapt and redirect, the ability to see a play 3 or 4 steps in advance, to anticipate the play. This is a skill set that has helped me both in and out of the water in my daily life. Learning to balance academics with my athletics has been an accomplishment for me with the help of my IEP coordinator, coaches and teammates. Water polo and the opportunities it has afforded me over the years has helped me develop strong relationships, mold my work ethic and has taught me what it means to be apart of something greater than myself.
