I chose my major because: I love biology and I am still considering entering the medical field. I am unsure of what my career will be but I am fascinated by tissue cell research and the concept of being able to save lives with synthetic organs.
The person I most admire is and why: The person I admire the most is my mom. I know it's a pretty basic answer, but she has sacrificed so much in order to help me lead a good life. She has always been someone I look up to and I am never afraid to ask her for advice.
If I wasn’t playing swimming, I’d be: Playing an instrument. I used to do band in elementary and middle school and I absolutely loved being a part of the music. If I had more time to myself, I would love to learn how to play the piano, the drums, or the violin.

Person who had greatest influence on my athletics career: The Head Coach at my YMCA, Vladimir Popel
I started playing my sport because…: I had tried many other sports (mainly because my friends were doing them) and I didn't feel passionate about any of them. When I started swimming, I knew I had found a sport that I could excel at. Even though I wasn't the best, I could see myself improving and it made me want to show up to practice and put in the work.
I chose Rutgers because…: I value diversity. From the first tour I took it was clear that this campus embodies diversity in its classes, extracurriculars, and most importantly in its people. I believe that by being exposed to the wide range of different experiences and perspectives Rutgers offers, I will be able to become a well-rounded person and future engineer. In addition to this, I am excited about the opportunities that the university’s large alumni network offers for both my academic and athletic career.
