Why Texas?
"I chose the University of Texas because the rowing program offers both a competitive and supportive environment.

What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
"I started rowing my freshman year of high school because I wanted to try something new and different from tennis, which I had been playing. What I love most about rowing is the sense of teamwork and rhythm. I think it’s so rewarding to work in perfect sync with others toward a common goal. The physical and mental challenge also keeps me motivated and constantly pushing myself."
