What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“I really did not know what I was getting myself into walking onto the team here at Texas, but I am so thankful I took the leap of faith. I saw a flyer for walk on tryouts and when I encountered the team culture and the collected passion of everyone involved, I fell in love. It is unlike any other sport; everyone is going hard for each other all the time. It is a collective, competitive and heart-filled sport!
