2019 is my first season rowing, previous to this year I was a competitive swimmer for 11 years attending 8 state championships in which i finaled all years. The work ethic and dedication I learned through swimming have helped me tremendously in rowing because I am body aware and physically fit to the level of a seasoned rower. I'm a very competitive person so just because I don't have many years of rowing under my belt doesn't mean I will let people overlook me, I still strive to be the best. In college, I hope to row at the NCAA's at least once and to continue getting stronger and smarter on and off of the water. I hope to make new lasting friendships and be apart of a group that will push me both athletically and academically.
