Why Iowa… Iowa for me felt like home. I loved the campus and everything they had to offer. Iowa has a small-town feel to it, which reminds me of my small-town home in Wisconsin. They also had an impressive rowing team which was something I was looking for in colleges.
My favorite aspect of rowing is…the bond that you make with your teammates. We push each other to do our best and to work our hardest. Rowing is as much a team sport as an individual sport and I love that aspect of it.
