I am a solo mama to three tiny humans. I splash around in the pool for a living since 1990. Having suffered a traumatic brain injury which resulted in a subsequent brain surgery to remove a tumor, I made the switch from trying to make Team USA in the Olympics to becoming a Paralympian set to debut in Tokyo. Following a successful 2023 Paralympic Swimming season which brought about several American, Continental and even a World Record, in addition to the capturing the title of World Champion, I am looking forward to competing and bringing home multiple medals this summer in Paris. I am even more excited to have my three children in Paris to cheer me on.
