Most people call me Cat.

The ocean is my happy place.

I want to inspire and motivate others to see what they are capable of. The human potential is unlimited.

Over the past 9 years I have been able to travel the world and explore waters locally while going after long swims. This journey has been the most rewarding of my life and I hope to keep pushing the limits of endurance swimming and my own limits.

Grit is your superpower
