Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My greatest athletic memory was being selected to the Fiji national team for the World Championships in Korea in 2019! I was able to swim a personal best time and see the level of competition overseas in person and all that happening just one day after finishing the Pacific Games. It was a great atmosphere and an experience that was very encouraging and motivational and it really made me want to compete at the international level, and not just in Fiji!
Goals:
My goal this year is to compete in the Olympics for Fiji! After that, I would like to swim in college and continue to improve as a swimmer and as a person.
Anything else we should know?
I have only been swimming for six years and with resources being very limited in Fiji, I look forward to college swimming in the US in order to take my swimming to the next level!
