Why Texas?
"I chose Texas because of the amazing team culture and strong academics."
What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
"I started rowing as a sport to compete in during my offseason for basketball. I pursued both sports for a few years but eventually chose to focus on rowing. I love that rowing allows you to push yourself to your limits and that everyone in the boat relies on one another to succeed."
