Reason for choosing UW- Madison: UW had the best of both worlds. UW has a competitive team that is centered on teamwork. There’s this responsibility that comes with being a Badger; representing a team with a history of hard work and dedication. Additionally, UW has amazing academic programs. Teachers are focused on building the foundation and helping you excel in the classroom. The art program here is very good at giving you the tools you need for success and making sure you’re equipped to conquer anything. I like knowing that I’m in a place that is all about supporting its students and making sure they can succeed on and off the field. It makes me want to work harder and inspire others to be just as tenacious.

What Wisconsin rowing means to you: Wisconsin rowing has a long history filled with hard work, passion, and tenacity. Rowing is a team sport, and at Wisconsin, teamwork is the epicenter of our success; I firmly believe that we have a strong sense of togetherness on this team and that all of our teammates focus on building each other up instead of beating each other. At the end of the day, I will always be proud to call myself a Wisconsin Badger because I know that it symbolizes something truly passionate and unique compared to anything else.
