Personal Statement
Before rowing, I played soccer for eight years. In eighth grade, I decided to try rowing. I rowed varsity for PNRA Mercer for three years. Although I loved rowing, I was interested in coxing last winter. After attending the 2018 Sparks Consulted Winter Coxswain Camp, I decided to switch to be a coxswain. After I finished my winter season as a rower, I made the switch. I learned a lot about the proper rowing technique and coxswain calls throughout my three years of rowing that I am able to apply as a coxswain now. I love coxing for PNRA Mercer because of the positive, yet competitive atmosphere. My team pushes me to be my best self because their hard-work and dedication motivates me. I finished my first fall season as a coxswain by placing 30th in the Wv8 category at the head of the Charles in Mercer's 2v8.
