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

It helps me stay healthy and also connected to my friends.


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

I don’t have one specific person. But para Olympic athlete are my biggest inspiration. I watched them work hard and win/dominate whatever sports they are competing in without complain and no excuses even with certain limitations. I look at them and tell myself, I have no reason to not be the best.


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

Making the florida state zone team and representing florida at the southern zones competition. Florida won both open water and summer southern zones championships.
