Why Wisconsin: I chose UW-Madison because it felt like the perfect fit both academically, athletically and socially. The campus is incredible, the facilities are great, and I love our team culture. What really made it feel like home was the people. I knew I’d be surrounded by people who would push me, support me, and make every day great. Also, UW's status as a Public Ivy puts it a cut above the rest!
What Wisconsin rowing means to you: Wisconsin rowing means having a team that pushes me to be better every single day, both on and off the water. It’s early mornings, hard work and a lot of laughs in between.
