What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Gymnastics is more than just a sport to me—it is something I truly love and a huge part of who I am. What I love most about gymnastics is the feeling of challenging myself and accomplishing things I once thought were impossible. Every skill takes patience, practice, strength, and determination. There are times when I fall, make mistakes, or struggle with a skill, but that makes it even more rewarding when I finally get it. That feeling of landing a skill that I have worked on for weeks or month

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

The person who inspires me the most is my mom. She is not only my biggest supporter, but also one of the strongest people I know. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, and watching her face such a difficult challenge has taught me what true strength, courage, and perseverance look like. She never allowed difficult times to take away her positive attitude or her love for our family. Seeing everything she went through has taught me that even when life gets hard, you keep fighting.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The accomplishment I am most proud of is my entire 2025–26 gymnastics season. I challenged myself, stayed consistent, and saw my hard work pay off. One of the highlights was making the Tour Team. Throughout the season, I stayed focused and placed in the top three at every meet. This consistency showed me that my dedication and training were making a difference. One of my biggest accomplishments was winning a Silver medal in the All-Around at Provincials.
