After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided that I will retire after the 2021 Olympic season, come whatever may. I’ve swam for 16 years and loved every minute of it. Time to use my engineering degree! Thank you everyone for following my journey!

A dog hat is by far the best way to celebrate a national championship.
