According to you, what is the toughest aspect of being an athlete?
I think the toughest part of being an athlete would be managing school, practice, and sleep schedules to perform at an optimal level.


Do you have any advice for young people who want to start a career in Track & Field?
My advice for younger athletes would be to just have fun, don’t get too frustrated, and try your best. You are not expected to be perfect and will only improve through trial and error.


Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of Track & Field?

Outside of Track & Field, I am a level 9 competitive gymnast at Falcon Gymnastics. Without a gymnastics background, I would have never tried pole vault.

What drives you to get up in the morning and go train every day?

The want to improve and trust the process motivates me to work hard to train every day.


What is the best advice you ever got and who gave it?
My dad once told me to focus and work hard in the present instead of hyper-fixating on the past or future.
