Why Texas?
“A chance meeting at the airport in Atlanta led me to reach out to Texas to get more information about UT and the rowing program. During my visit, I immediately fell in love with the school, the coaches and rowers, the city, and the food. It was meant to be! Hook'em!”
What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“As an out-of-sport rower, I learned that many volleyball players transition to become successful rowers. I attended a rowing camp and fell in love with the sport; I particularly enjoy being outside and on the water.”
