Where and when did you start swimming?
I started swimming when I was about 4 or 5 on the Livermore Valley Tennis Club summer league team in Livermore California.

Who would you name as the most influential person and coach in your swimming career?
Doug Reyes. He is amazing and can help me with and through everything.

What, to this point, is your best moment in the sport and why?
My best moment is really the whole Olympic Trials experience.

Walk us through a day of practice:
We start pre-dryland at 3:35. Half of us do abs, and the other half do stretch chords. Then, we switch and when we are done with both abs and chords we stretch. We then get in the pool at 4 and do a warm up set and/or some drill set. We then have anywhere from 1 to 2,000 kick set. About the same amount in pulling. And, on average, a 3,000 main set that is either freestyle, IM, or specialty (changes every day.) That is just an average afternoon practice once we get into the swing of things.

What is your favorite set?
I really like IM sets.

What is your least favorite set?
Timed 3,000. Or anything long and monotonous like that.

What are your short-term goals?
Go a 4:36 in the 500 free.

What are your long-term goals?
Win an event at NCAAs.

What colleges are you interested in so far?
Right now I'm taking trips to Georgia, USC, Stanford, and Texas.

How is the recruiting process going?
The recruiting process is a bit overwhelming but tons of fun.
