Why Penn? “Penn gives me opportunities that would be otherwise closed. The ability to be both an athlete and student at such a high level is unparalleled elsewhere.”
 
Why Rowing? “Rowing allows me to push myself physically and relieve myself mentally in a cathartic way. I love both the physio and technical aspects to the sport. Also, being part of a team and having friends around you that help and support you is a big plus.”
