Personal: Enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Why Penn? "I chose Penn because I live about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia and love the city. I love all the different opportunities that the city has throughout the year. I also am excited to have the opportunity to continue rowing for the next four years at Penn."

Why rowing? "I love rowing because it challenges one to truly push their mind and body farther than they thought they were able to. I also love the bonds that are formed with my teammates."
