After being a swimmer for eight years I could never imagine switching sports, not until the first time I experienced rowing. The feeling of gliding over the water made me instantly fall in love with the sport. After my first high school season I decided to continue rowing and join my local club. Ever since then I have dedicated myself to the sport. I initially gravitated to the sport because I love being on a team and working with my teammates to bring the best out of us. I am goal oriented, have a strong work ethic, and I make sure to give my 100% in every practice and race. Rowing has helped me in the classroom, teaching me discipline and structure both on the water and in my studies. I'm looking forward to rowing in college and continuing my passion and joining a team of like minded students.
