At what age did you start swimming and how did you get into the sport?
I started swimming when I was 5 because I needed the lessons. Once I turned 7, my mom put me and my brother on the roster for the “Sioux Falls Seals” where I began my competitive career.
What routines do you practice before a big race to help you focus and stay ready?
Before races I like to joke around with my teammates, listen to music and slap my arms and legs.
What is something that someone wouldn't know about you?
I don’t like papaya and eggplant.
What sport would you play if you did not swim and why?
I would be a power lifter because I love lifting, especially bench press.
What advice would you give to young athletes who are just starting out in swimming?
Your performance as an athlete does not define you as a person.
Who is a role model in your life that pushed you to be better in and out of the pool?
My role model is my brother. He has an incredible drive and a positive mindset.
