I am a x2 Paralympian (Rio 2016 & Tokyo 2020) in Swimming. I was born at 24 weeks, resulting in me being visually impaired. I weighed one pound eight ounces. I don’t know about you, but I’ve eaten burritos bigger than that. Additionally, I have competed in 3 World Championships (2013, 2015, & 2019). I have a Bachelors in Science in Psychology from The College at Brockport, and am currently working on my Masters in School Counseling. An area I feel strongly about is encouraging blind and visually impaired children to get involved in sports. I have volunteered at Camp Abilities (Brockport chapter) for 4 years as a motivational speaker and swim instructor. This is close to my heart due to the Camp’s impact on introducing me to the Paralympic movement as a camper myself in 2007.
