RETIREMENT
She was forced to retire from competitive swimming in August 2021 after undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. "I always wanted to end my career still loving the sport, and I can truly say I still love swimming with my whole heart, but I am just not able to keep sacrificing my physical and mental health in order to be at an elite level."
