Reason for choosing UW-Madison: Having grown up here, I love the city of Madison. I wanted to stay close to home and coming here felt like I was staying true to myself. It is also an amazing school academically that I knew would challenge me and push me to become the best version of myself.

What Wisconsin rowing means to you: In such a short time, Wisconsin rowing has come to mean so much to me. I love the competitive yet supportive atmosphere and the girls on the team as well as the amazing coaches keep me coming back every day. It truly feels like there is no bond like the one created by working out together every day and rowing in a boat together. Wisconsin rowing has taught me so much about how to become a better teammate, athlete and overall person.
