What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“My mom wanted me to try rowing and I instantly fell in love. What I love most about the sport is the team dynamic and how accomplished you feel after a workout or race. I love how you can push yourself to the limit and be surprised at how far you went.”
