I am a junior pole vaulter on the UConn Track and Field team. I am the 2023 Indoor Big East pole vault Champion! I am studying exercise science with a dream of owning my own gym/pole vaulting club. I also love all things outdoors! I suffered a serious injury within my sport, which then led to some mental health struggles. I’m now back to pole vaulting and more importantly, mentally stronger than ever. I hope to inspire others to get back up and focus on their mental health. Mental health matters!
