I had been swimming competitively since the age of 5, but a few months ago, I decided to begin rowing. After learning the basics of the sport, I fell in love with the sport. I am determined, hard-working, and constantly striving to improve myself. I also have strong teamwork skills due to my time playing lacrosse during my freshman and sophomore years of high school. Though I have not been rowing for as long as most other rowers, I am eager to catch up.
