Reason for choosing UW-Madison: I could really see myself here when I came on my official visit, not only was the team amazing but the school offered everything I was looking for in terms of size and academic opportunities.

What Wisconsin rowing means to you: Wisconsin rowing means team. It means a place that I can go and work hard every day doing something I love. While transitioning to a new school and team are never easy, I’ve enjoyed my time here so far and can’t wait to race this spring.
