Personal Statement
Being an immigrant, I had next to no family on this continent and spent years searching for a community. I got beyond lucky finding the sport of rowing five years ago, and ever since, there hasn't been a day where I haven't been grateful for the family that I've found in this community. I've experienced working with all sorts of teams and boats, from Novice Girls to Men's Masters in the 60+ division. These experiences showed me how truly strong the bond of this sport is, no matter the age or background. I have become a stronger and more confident leader and individual because of it and I strive to grow because of it every single day. In college, I'd like to continue being part of a strong community and want to contribute to a team with a strong, connected culture. I am dedicated and committed to my team and teammates beyond measure and will bring full engagement and energy to whatever team I am part of. I look forward to learning more about your team and values.
