I have been rowing competitively since eighth grade when I was asked to join the Varsity Rowing team with Pittsford Crew. As a dedicated athlete, I have learned the importance of discipline, teamwork, and resilience. In college, I want to contribute to a team looking to be its best and compete at the highest levels. Rowing has taught me to push myself beyond my limits, and it has taught me the value of perseverance and the importance of setting ambitious goals. With Pittsford Crew, my boat achieved the highest placement in club history in 2023 at the Head of the Charles Regatta. When I was recruited by Row Buffalo, my boat won first place at the 2023 Youth Summer Nationals and first place at the 2023 Canadian Henley.
