"I have always had a passion for helping others, and sport not only opened multiple opportunities for development but also built the person that I am today. I want to give back to the world of sport. Education is a key component of athlete performance, and I have always believed that access to information plays an important role in the fight against doping. Being able to contribute to ITA’s education program allows me to help bridge the gap and provide athletes and entourage members with the opportunity and access to education."
