I played many sports in elementary school and middle school (swimming, soccer, aikido, tennis, basketball, track and field). I enjoy water activities, I am a junior scuba diver and I learned how to sail too. Since 8th grade, I decided to focus on competitive swimming; my first swimming competition was as a Santa Rosa Neptune (SRN - Neptunes) at the age of 8. Since my freshman year in high school, I have been swimming with the North Bay Aquatics Team (NBA - Angry Tunas) and with Branson's swim team (Branson - Bull Sharks).

My latest swimming accomplishments were a sectional time in my 500 SCY Freestyle in July 2019 and a 2^nd place on the same event at the high school season final meet (MCAL 2019) in May 2019. I have also broken several top 5 records of my high school. For more information on my swimming times, please access my page at collegeswimming.com.

I would like to acknowledge the generosity of the "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo" - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and their coaches for allowing me to practice with the team during four vacations in the last 5 years.
