As a varsity diver on Princeton's two-time Ivy League Championship Swim and Dive Team, I’ve developed invaluable skills in perseverance, teamwork, and resilience. I’m dedicated to achieving both my personal goals and the team’s objectives through hard work, discipline, and enthusiasm. As a senior member, I’m focused on being a positive role model for new teammates, supporting their transition to college life, and helping our team perform at an elite level.
Diving from heights of up to 10 meters (33 feet) requires intense focus, quick decision-making, and the ability to stay calm under pressure—qualities that are critical in any professional setting. Each dive demands mental and physical resilience, as well as the courage to face risks with confidence. Through training, I've learned to handle both the physical challenges and the high stakes of competition. These experiences have prepared me to tackle the demands of a fast-paced work environment, where I am ready to face challenges head-on, manage stress effectively, and deliver my best performance even under pressure.
