I have been around rowing my entire life. Collegiate rowing has always been in my eye. The ultimate goal for me would be, of course, an olympic gold medal. Though, there are stepping stones. Everyday of my high school rowing career is aimed at making that career as well as myself the best it/i can possibly be. The same will go for my collegiate rowing career. Whether it be the Dad Vails, Eastern Sprints, IRA, or a small head race; i want to win. I understand what it means to be an athlete and will pull to the best of my ability everyday. i have never stepped off the erg during a workout, i have never stopped pulling on the water and i have never gone into a race without a burning passion for success. I am humble when i win and professional when i lose. Collegiate rowing has been my dream for as long as i can remember and i will therefore do everything in my power to give to my collegiate rowing team everything that i have and more.
