I would also like to thank my family for their countless sacrifices, as well as my teammates (especially my sister (Mia), for believing in me every step of the way.

A huge thank you goes to my coaches are always pushing me to my fullest potential, and especially Coach (Janel) Burgess, for guiding me through this process.
