Why Iowa… I chose Iowa because it offered competitive learning in a college town environment. I also really appreciated that it was a Big Ten school with a lot to offer athletically.
My favorite aspect of rowing is… It is the only sport I know that not only pushes you to your fullest, but it also offers you a family of women who stand behind you and support you in your push. We all fight everyday, but it’s together.
What made you want to become a rower… I was always in love with being on the water, starting with kayaking. When I saw that rowing was offered at Iowa, I was drawn to the thought of it. I became a Novice Walk-On my freshman year.
