About:
I started rowing for a local club team (Sarasota Scullers) in the summer of 2011. From that first day on the water, I knew that this was the sport for me. Since then, I have grown a lot (both literally and figuratively) but I know that I am the person I am today in large part because of my involvement in rowing. I hope to go to medical school after I graduate from UF.
