Proud of everything I accomplished this summer and grateful for what each experience taught me.

After taking time to reset, I’m ready to carry that progress into short course.

Pan Am gave me more than medals. It gave me lessons I’ve carried with me ever since. 🇯🇲

Looking back on July 8–12, I learned a lot about staying composed, trusting my training, racing for my team and continuing to compete no matter what the moment looks like.

I have taken those lessons into Futures, kept building, and now I’m getting ready to turn the page into short course season.

Every meet teaches you something. The goal is to take it with you into what’s next.

🎥 A few thoughts from Pan Am.

Summer 2026. ☀️🏊🏽‍♀️

From training in Jamaica 🇯🇲, to racing at Pan Am, earning new TYR Futures cuts, and finishing the summer with U.S. Open cuts.

A summer full of racing, growth, and new standards. Proud of the progress and there’s still more ahead.

Next chapter loading. 👀
