Describe your style: Sporty chic.
What do you love about diving?
I love the feeling of flipping and twisting in the air. I was a gymnast for 10 years before I started diving, and I’ve always enjoyed flipping and twisting.
Who is your favorite athlete and which athlete do you think has great style?
My favorite athlete is David Boudia. He was on the 2012 US Olympic Team and was a gold medalist on the men’s 10-meter platform and a bronze medalist on men’s synchronized 10-meter platform. One time I was diving at the same pool as he was and he clapped for my dive and said he liked it. I think Nastia Liukin has great style.
What are your “off duty” fashion and beauty essentials?
I use Moroccan Argan oil in my hair because it gets really dry from the chlorine in the pool. I really like Tarte BB Cream Primer and Laura Mercier Metallic Créme Eye Color because they are so easy to use. I put those products on after practice along with some waterproof mascara, and go straight to class!
Do you have any advice for looking cute while working out?
I like to wear fun sports bras with cut out tops so you can see part of the sports bra.
