Because I am also a member of the Western varsity swim team, I have the best of both worlds and get to embrace my introverted and extroverted sides. I spend a couple hours socializing and swimming at Western’s Rec Center or on main campus and then I get to return to Brescia’s small, quiet campus where I know most people and feel more comfortable. Going between different ‘worlds’ each day is a blessing. I competed in the 2016 Olympics and am training to compete in the 2021 Olympics for Antigua and Barbuda. I am also focused on having a great final year swimming for Western. Brescia has supported me as a student-athlete by accommodating me when I have competitions and providing me with anything I need. I try to lead by encouraging others to be the best version of themselves. I hope my teammates and friends see me as someone they can talk to about anything and as a woman who is driven and determined.
