What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“I grew up doing recreational water sports with my family. After meeting and speaking with Coach Gia Doonan it sounded like it would be a fun and challenging opportunity I could not pass up. I love the harmony, balance and rhythm as we glide on the water.
