One word to describe your Coach: Driven
Major: Nutrition
I chose my major because: I've always been interested in learning about how to optimize my nutrition for my performance in the pool as well as just for a healthier lifestyle.

Favorite place to hang out on campus: Harvest Cafe at IFNH on Cook/Douglass
The person I most admire is and why: The person I admire most is my dad. He is the most dedicated, hardest worker I know, has always been my number one supporter in and out of the pool, and always reminds me to do my best in life.
