Outside synchronized swimming, what other
athletic feat would you like to try?
I'm sure I'll be a triathlete, but I'd also like to take up rowing. And, of course, I will enjoy just being a fan, too.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
That's tough, but probably Miami

What do you enjoy doing most outside the pool?
A perfect day would be to have a lazy morning, then hit my trail for an hour or so, and spend the afternoon cooking dinner for my gang.

Number one thing synchro has taught you
Always be willing and eager to learn from everyone you are surrounded by

Who do you look up to the most in the synchro world?
My coaches Gail Emery, Tammy McGregor and Heather Carrasco. They honor me with incredible effort and spirit everyday, and I hope I do the same for them.
