Rowing History

She began rowing in fall of 2022. “I love rowing because it gives me a different type of adrenaline than swimming or any other sport gave to me. When I wake up for morning practice, I am up and I know I’m ready to put the work in for the day. I have a different type of confidence when rowing and being a part of a team allows me to put trust in my teammates as well as build a new family. After playing many sports in my lifetime, rowing is the perfect sport to finish off my career.”

Why Clemson

I chose Clemson because it was the perfect fit for me overall. The positive atmosphere is contagious and it is a nice change from being up north. Also, I loved how it was a large, southern, Division I school that has a great focus on academics.”
