Amelia began swimming at the age of 8 and grew up training at the Rose Bowl and with the La Cañada Sharks, where she competed for many years. Swimming has remained a central part of her life, and she is currently a high school varsity swimmer as well as a varsity volleyball player.
In addition to her athletic background, Amelia works as a lifeguard and has spent much of her life around the water, both at the pool and the beach. She has also grown up with dogs and continues to enjoy being around animals.
Outside of sports, Amelia enjoys going to the beach, practicing yoga, hiking, trying new foods, and spending time with friends and family. She is passionate about health, nutrition, and exercise, and enjoys helping younger swimmers build confidence, improve their skills, and have fun in the water. Amelia is excited to share her love of swimming and support others in growing both in and out of the pool.
