Why Texas?
“It's where I felt I could be part of a supportive team where they help each other grow physically as well as mentally.”
What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“My dad told me I should try it when I started high school, as it would be a good way to meet people and he also rowed in school. I love the team aspect of rowing, and being apart of a crew where you know every single person is pushing to their absolute limit. It's the best feeling.”
