 Representing the United States on the world stage has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Through my 15-year career, I competed in over five Olympics and six world championships, winning a combined 65 gold medals for my team and my country. My journey in the pool has taught me the values of hard work, dedication, and above all, fairness. It helped me overcome challenges like ADHD and taught me resilience and focus. However, the constant suspicion on doping eroded the mental state that took a lifetime to build.
