Why Iowa… I chose to attend the University of Iowa because I loved the overall atmosphere of the campus and all of the people here made me feel welcome instantly. It gives me the experience of a Big Ten school, while also giving me the comfort of knowing that I can have individual help and small class sizes if I need them. Additionally, I have always been a Hawkeye fan because my mom attended the university in part of her undergraduate years.
My favorite aspect of rowing is… My favorite aspect about rowing is that it is a team sport. I have never been a part of a team sport before and it’s exciting to see a team working all together. Additionally, since I am a coxswain, I like that I get to be a leader on the team.
What made you want to become a rower… I joined rowing because I wanted to try something new that I had never done before. I attended the informational meeting and wanted to try out a sport besides gymnastics, and I was ready for a new challenge!
