FAST FACTS:

Why did you choose Missouri?

I chose Missouri because of the coaching staff, the facilities, the school, and the pride of being able to have the privilege to say, "I am a TIGER!"

How has the program at Mizzou made you a better diver?

Coming to Mizzou as a freshman I immediately felt that strong bond and sense of belonging to this program. Having a substantially large second family/teammates who support and back me up 100% has not only made me a better diver, but the trust I have built up with my coach is great. This program holds talent, hard workers and determination while it carries on the streak of success which motivates me to be the best I can be each and every day.

What is your best memory with the team?

Each and every day that is spent with my teammates, new memories are created and added to the list. There is never a dull moment when we are around one another, making it hard for me to choose a favorite.
