I am a multi-sport athlete from Pittsburgh who competes in sled hockey, swimming, cross-country, and my personal favorite: track & field. I started training and competing when I was 7 years old. 2 years ago, I completed my first full mile long ocean swim as part of a Challenged Athletes Foundation Triathlon team in San Diego. Adaptive sports have been a great way to meet amazing people, and most importantly I have seen my body grow stronger and do things I wasn't even sure I could do! Outside of sports, I also loves chess, music production and math.
