“I am excited to come to Lynchburg, not only for the opportunity to be back full-time in athletics and aquatics, but the chance to build new relationships, get to meet new people, and an overall change of scenery. I have a few family friends close by in the Central Virginia area. I’ve been to Lynchburg a few times before and I’d always enjoyed myself. For me, this a win-win–to do be able to live somewhere new that caters more to my lifestyle, while also continuing in a field that I am passionate about.”
