I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I began rowing November of 2021. I started rowing because my uncle and my cousin both rowed at D1 universities. Utah crew has helped me grow as a person and allowed me to push myself to my physical limits. I find a physical love for rowing as well as a mental love for rowing. I love the meditation and mental strength that rowing creates. I can see myself rowing in college not just for the physicality of the sport but for the team support and structure/routine that it offers. I am interested in seeing how I can push myself to reach my rowing goals and hopefully row in college.
