Why Iowa… I loved Iowa when I visited. It had everything that I was looking for in a school; a beautiful campus, friendly people, and unlimited opportunities.
What is your favorite aspect about rowing… I love being in a boat and making that boat glide through the water is both thrilling and calming. Rowing gives you a chance to be outdoors and appreciate nature. And I love competing, all of the training, and my teammates.
What made you want to become a rower… I had participated in and tried almost every other sport and rowing was one I hadn’t. I wanted to try something new.
