“Of course, this journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Injuries, the emotional strain of competition, and navigating the uncertainty of a global pandemic have all tested me in unexpected ways. But I’ve learned that vulnerability is not a weakness; it’s a pathway to empathy, connection, and growth. These experiences have made me more aware of how I can support others through their own challenges.”
