While racing is exciting, I really value and enjoy all my friendships and experiences the most. My favorite stroke is the backstroke, but my best stroke is butterfly.

While I joined my local Wave Swim club more than 8 years back as a way to hang out with friends, I quickly realized that swimming was much more than just a social pastime. I began to appreciate the valuable skills such as perseverance and hard work that came with swimming, but most importantly, the personal fulfillment of constantly striving to become a faster and better swimmer. I continue to pursue swimming on the competitive level as I participate in my school's varsity swim team, and hope that as a swim instructor, I will be able to kindle the same passion for swimming in my students.

I am a former Pacific Northwest Champion and most importantly I love and have fun while swimming. Swimming has built many relationships for me, some even stretch as far as across the nation. Adding on, swimming also has helped me mature and learn the meaning of hard work towards a goal.

Growing up with a swimming pool in my backyard, I grew accustomed to being in the water from a young age. When I turned 11, I started competitive swim, and have loved it ever since. Through swim, I learned many important life skills, such as the reward of hard work, the beauty of a team, and the most important one, how to swim. I’m very excited to be able to pass on these skills!
