2022 Highlights Personal Statement
I have had the goal of playing water polo collegiately since I was nine years old. Water polo is my passion and has influenced who I am as a student athlete. I would like to attend a Division 1 college to play water polo and major in Sports Medicine. In water polo, I am a fierce competitor, a trusted and loyal teammate, and one who relishes the opportunity to compete at the highest level. I have been a leader and key contributor on every team I have competed for. My teams have placed second and third in the junior olympics, I have been selected to ODP nationals twice, and I am the Oregon statistical leader in goals, assists, and steals. My ultimate goal is to become an All-American, an Olympian, and successful physical therapist.
