Reason for choosing UW-Madison: Growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, supporting the Badgers and wearing Bucky Red was in my DNA. I knew one day I would have to choose where to go to college, and Madison was always a contender. It was the world-class education I would receive at this institution that drew me in the most. As for rowing, I attended a rowing camp in the summer of 2017 at UW. Within the first few hours, I fell in love not only with the girls who rowed and the fantastic coaching staff, but the college as a whole. Leaving the week, I knew right away that Madison was where I wanted to be.
 
What Wisconsin rowing means to you: To me Wisconsin rowing is my family, it is a place where I can be competitive and push myself to my limits while being supported by powerful women.
