Personal: Daughter of Bojan and Ivana Kaljevic • has a fraternal twin sister, Mina, who is one minute younger and is also a member of the Gopher swim team • hobbies include listening to music, playing piano, stargazing, drawing, and reading.
Why Minnesota? I chose Minnesota because of the way I felt welcomed by the coaching staff from the start, and since I received an immense amount of support and help. The incredible athletic resources available here are something that will really contribute to my further growth as a swimmer. However, one of the most important factors that made me decide to come here was the team's atmosphere.
