Why Iowa… Being a Hawkeye has always been in my family and with the University of Iowa being the only school in Iowa with a radiation therapy program, it made the choice of coming here easier.
My favorite aspect of rowing is… Pushing my body to new levels. Also, being a part of a team and competing.
What made you want to become a rower… Coach Quoss was after me to try-out and my doctor told me that rowing would be great for therapy for my knee, so I decided to give it a try!
