I am the second oldest of five children, which has given me the skills of responsibility and a sense of leadership. I have been able to use these characteristics in my athletic and academic careers, now captain of my high school rowing team as a Junior. I have rowed since freshman year and push myself and my team daily to become stronger. I am growing as a rower and planning on becoming stronger throughout my junior year. In college, I would like to improve both athletically and academically.
