• Why she started rowing: I wanted to try something new and push myself to grow as an athlete
• Why I love rowing: I love the team aspect of rowing! Even when you think you’ve hit your limit, you are inspired to find just a little bit more for the people in the boat with you.
• Fun Fact: Before rowing, I was a goalkeeper for Carolina Elite Soccer Academy Spartanburg. We were the South Carolina State Cup Champions in 2014 and 2019!
