“I had many setbacks during the summer of 2015, and during those moments I was left with a choice to make: to either let the setbacks defeat me or keep pushing, trust my process and hold my vision of where I want to be.

One of my favorite quotes says, ‘I am thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn't have stumbled upon my strength.’ These times weren't easy, but they shaped me into the person I needed to be and gave me strength I needed to have in order to be the player I was for my team in Rio."
