  • How do you combine motherhood with being a Paralympian?"I think for about a year, I compartmentalized them. My son was really young, and I went back to playing volleyball really quickly. But over the three years he's been alive, I've actually loved bringing him to as much as I can. I love when he's around. They coincide so much. I get to put my heart and soul into being a mom and being a Paralympian. I love that he gets to watch me on this journey."
