What makes you different?
I am resilient and persistent in everything that I do. Regardless of any challenges I might face I will not be deterred from achieving my goals. I will always give more than what is required, in order to achieve results and will not stop until I get what I have set out to achieve. This is evident in me competing in-ternationally and being awarded swimmer of the year 2019 at Curro Aurora.
Why do you want to compete in college?
Growing up in South Africa, there has been limited opportunity to grow to my full potential whilst achieving a degree. Participating in college sports would afford me the opportunity to compete against the best and grow to my full potential. College sports would aid me in reaching my goal of one day competing in the Olympic games. I was able to see this done through swimmers like Roland Schoeman and Ryk Neethling, which inspired me to achieve this in the future.
College Goals?
In college my objective is to get my medical degree and win at the respective championships whilst aim-ing to qualify for the Olympic games.
