I am a student-athlete who has faced challenges both on and off the mat. After undergoing brain tumor removal surgery, I’ve learned the importance of perseverance, strength, and faith. My journey has shaped me into someone who values resilience and determination, and I strive to bring that same mindset to everything I do—whether in competition, in the classroom, or in life. I hope to use my story to inspire others while continuing to chase my goals and represent those who have supported me through my recovery.
