<div>I first represented the United States at the Junior NACHC and World Championship tournaments in 2022, and after graduating college, I recently returned to competitive handball in 2025. After attending USA Team Handball national tryouts to rejoin the player pool, the inaugural Handball Futures Festival, and winning USA Open Club Nationals in May 2026 with Chicago Inter, I have the opportunity to train full-time at a high-performance academy in Denmark. My goal is to earn a place on the United States Women’s National Team for the <strong>2028 Olympic Games</strong> in Los Angeles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Denmark is considered one of the world’s premier handball nations, and the ISI Academy offers the kind of daily training environment that isn’t available to athletes in the United States. The program includes elite coaching, technical and tactical training, strength and conditioning, housing, meals, and visa support. They will also pair me with a local club team to play with, allowing me to fully dedicate myself to becoming the best player I can be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many Olympic hopefuls in smaller sports, <strong>this journey is largely self-funded.</strong> While earning a spot at the academy is an incredible step forward, the financial cost is my biggest obstacle. Your support will help cover tuition, housing, meals, travel expenses, and the resources needed to train alongside top athletes in one of the best handball environments in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Handball has given me incredible opportunities — from representing my country to competing alongside amazing teammates and athletes from all over the world — and I’m committed to seeing just how far this journey will take me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every donation, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to chasing my dream of wearing the USA jersey again and competing for a place on the Olympic stage in 2028.</strong> Thank you for believing in me and for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to share my progress every step of the way.
</div>
