What have you learned from your time at Arizona?: Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Nothing is guaranteed. Live in the moment and enjoy the present and the rest will take care of itself.
Best part about Arizona?: There is no doubt that this program can develop all types of swimmers into the best athletes. What you can't see on paper is all the incredible bonds this team has created. The best and most unique part of being a Wildcat is belonging to a family with an endless love and support for each other.

Favorite Quote: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered by your old nonsense." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
