Competing at a the DI level has been an aspiration of mine for as long as I can remember and I owe so much to my family, coaches, teammates, and peers for helping me realize this dream. I am so excited to become a RedHawk and was thoroughly impressed since the start of my process with the prestigious academics as well as talented coaching staff and athletes at Miami who are fully invested in success both in and out of the water. For them, winning is not a goal, it is an inevitability, and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to be a part of this future success. #RiseUpRedHawks #LoveAndHonor”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
