As a student-athlete, my successes both in the pool and in the classroom are very important to me. I believe athletics are an excellent medium to bring people together and to form lasting relationships. Recovery, proper nutrition, and exercise are pillars to my lifestyle. Graduating first in my class from high school, I am very excited to continue my schooling at UT Austin. I grew up in Woburn, MA and was active in the MA/RI chapter of Best Buddies.
