First, I am beyond grateful for my family and their unwavering support as well as my friends and teammates who have always been there to encourage me and cheer me on throughout my entire journey. Also, a special thank you to all of my coaches, especially Coach Bruce, Coach Matt, Coach Blake, Coach JP, Coach Rob, and Coach Brad, for always pushing me and helping me become the person I am today.
