Last Sunday marked my 10th year in rhythmic gymnastics! From my first trial class to this weekend in Paraguay for the Jr. PanAmerican Championships the past 10 days of 10 years have felt surreal. It’s hard to put into words what this sport has given me. RG not only grew into my passion — but it has shaped my life, taught me discipline, resilience, and filled my days with purpose.

To all my amazing coaches past and now— thank you believing in me from the start, your constant love, patience, and guidance continue to push me and grow in every way. .trubach : it really does take a village and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all you do.

To my family — From the early mornings, the quiet sacrifices, and the endless encouragement. I am experiencing this journey because you always found a way to give me every chance possible. From finding my first gym, my first ballet lesson, finding spaces for me to train and online classes thru COVID (even when it was a hallway), from making my first leo to buying my first leotard - somehow managing to give me everything in a world you didn’t know.

Rhythmic gymnastics has given me a life full of beauty, challenge, and unforgettable moments. I’m endlessly grateful for the people who’ve helped me along the way and for every opportunity this sport has brought into my life. My teammates and friends, and for every member of this community who has become an important part of my life . I am eternally grateful for you all and for it all. If you are wondering - I listened to this song over and over to every competition and every car ride to practice when I was little💕 and still do 📸 CIRCA SanDiego, CA STAR ⭐️ TEST.
