Screaming. Crying. Jumping for joy.

I’m honored to share I’m a @si_swimsuit 2023 rookie. This is truly a lifelong dream come true!! I’m forever grateful for the entire SI team for believing in me, making me feel so supported and for creating Swim Search in the first place - it has changed my life!

I filmed a Swim Search audition tape in 2020 and didn’t submit it. I was too worried about what other people would think, I was silently struggling with my mental health and relationship with food. I had let others dim my light. @camillekostek was one of my biggest inspirations while I was on my healing journey.

I told myself this year that just posting the tape alone would meant that I had won. What started as a celebration my self-acceptance journey has ended in the most special way; with Camille and the SI team telling me I had been named rookie. LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING

I can’t thank all of you and the entire @theswimfluencenetwork community enough for your endless support along the way.

Here’s to going after what you want, embracing yourself exactly as you are, and never letting the opinions of others hold you back. YOU ARE LIMITLESS

Thank you x10000 to @mj_day , @hillarydrezner_siswim and the entire team at SI for making my dream come true
