What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
“In my freshman year, I had a class with a bunch of rowers, and they had such a great energy. They told me that they have walk on tryouts and I knew that I was going to do everything I could to be in a boat with those girls. The thing I love most about Rowing is the grit. That feeling when you’re halfway through a piece and that mental wall starts coming in, but the whole boat understands that it’s time to turn it on even more and you start pushing for that person in front of you no matter how tired you are.”
