What are your pre-meet rituals? I always eat the same exact breakfast, 2 eggs, 1 piece of toast with butter, and sometimes a cup of tea.

What superpower would you choose? I would love to be able to go invisible.

What is your dream job? Large-animal veterinarian.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? I would want to go to Nice, France. It has amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea and seafood.

What is your fondest swimming memory? Anchoring the 200 backstroke relay, in a high school relay meet, and we touched out the other team to win it for the 4th year in a row. It was kind of a “for fun” meet but we ended up winning the entire meet. It was a blast.  

What does success mean to you? Success means working your hardest, with a good attitude, to achieve your goals. Even if you don’t get your goal, you still know you gave it your all, and have the heart to keep going, and not give up.
