Why Penn? “I chose Penn because it is one of the best Universities in the World, with long tradition and lots of opportunities, which I believe will help me achieve my goals in life!”
 
Why Rowing? “I love rowing because it is one of the hardest sports, where your teammates become like your family, and because there is no better feeling then looking at your opponents’ back while you are beating them.”
