My name is Hallie Schiffman and I am 23 years old.​

​

I was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida where I grew up sailing on my parents' Hunter 33.

After I began sailing competitively at age 10, I quickly moved up the ranks to the top 5 youth female sailors in the country. I competed in the Optimist Youth National Team and the Olympic Development Team. During this time, I was recognized as The Florida Young Women's Sailor of the Year, received 3rd place in the U17 World Championships, and was selected to represent the US at various international events. ​

​

After my youth career, I have continued to excel in the sport, earning Gold at the Pan American Games and becoming the Women's Singlehanded National Champion. ​

 

I am attending Stanford University, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Biology and studying engineering, while also being a part of the Stanford Varsity Sailing Team. I am currently taking a gap year from school to focus on campaigning full-time towards the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.​
