What makes you most proud? This means the world to me especially because I’m going to be able to compete with my sister, Jennifer. I always want her to be able to go to USA games and by me going with her as a Unified Partner, this has been made possible!

How has Special Olympics changed your life? Coaching makes me feel good about myself. I love it when you walk into practice and everybody is so excited to be there.
