How did you get into the sport?
"I took a summer class at a local pool as a kid and was hooked."
What inspires you?
"Esther Williams movies."
What's your favorite swimwear brand?
"Mikoh swimwear. I love the edgy fringe and cutouts!"
What do you think about when underwater?
"It's the calm place when you're performing, so I gather myself. The music is also easier to hear underwater, so if things are too loud or chaotic in the air, I can find my place again in the music once we're under. It's kind of a break. Sometimes, I relax my smile!"
How do you keep your hair hydrated?
"I use coconut oil."
Describe your outside-of-the-pool style.
"Neutral colors, classic pieces, unexpected silhouettes, and something edgy somewhere!"
