I started rowing in freshman year after being inspired by rowers from my school and around the Boston area. Ever since the first day on the water, I have been drawn to the sport. From steady states at practices, to the adrenaline during races, to pushing myself doing 2ks, my commitment and passion for rowing has only grown. I am never afraid of new challenges both as an athlete and a student, constantly going the extra mile to improve, such as erging at home whenever I can. I plan to continue rowing in college, where I look forward to improving athletically, academically, and personally while contributing to the team's success.
