Why Penn? “There are so many great reasons to choose Penn, such as its social atmosphere, top-notch academics, and beautiful campus, but for me it ultimately came down to feeling like Penn was the right fit for me personally. In addition, rowing is a big part of my life, so finding a team with the right culture and coaches was equally as important as the school itself.”

Why rowing? “I row for the moments when everything sets up perfectly. It’s not a feeling that is enjoyed often, but it’s indescribable when you’re lucky enough to experience it and it keeps you coming back for more.”
