Favorite Quote:
“Everything happens for a reason.”

Best advice you ever received:
“Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past. Stop planning the future. Stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel. We need to stop deciding with our minds what we want our heart to feel. Sometimes we just have to go with whatever happens, happens.”

Role Model:
My parents

Hobbies (outside of your sport):
Listening to music, shopping, going to movies.

What is your pre-meet ritual:
I listen to music, get ready so I’m at the meet on time, but not too fast where I have a ton of time to think.

Hopefully graduated from college, have a good job (maybe a physician’s assistant), married, and starting a family
