While many athletes started competing as children, I didn't find my sport until a high school PE class. I immediately took to it. By the end of my junior year, I was attending national tournaments and training as hard as I could. Now, I am out of school and training full time. Every day feels like a gift. I am grateful to my family and to my supporters for making this possible. 

I believe in sportsmanship first. The sport is the game, and we are all in it together. While I am very competitive, I also want to support all the competitors as we strive to make the sport of tennis great. I work every day to better myself and to better the game.
