Reason for choosing UW-Madison: "Ever since I was little I have always loved the city of Madison. It reminds me of my home in Duluth with all the nature, especially Lake Mendota. The energy and school spirit emanating from the university is contagious."

What Wisconsin rowing means to you: "To me, Wisconsin rowing means that I am a part of something bigger than myself. When I go to put on the W, I get to show other people what being a Badger truly is. It's about determination, never giving up and pushing ourselves to beyond what we once thought we were capable of. I'm so thankful that I get to represent the school that I love."
