Personal:
- Favorite Sports Memory: "competing in the 4+ event at the USRowing Southwest Regionals. We had two boats from our club entered, and we were the B boat. We started several lengths behind the A boat, but throughout the race, we maintained a strong rhythm, staying focused on the crews beside us. I could feel my crew responding to every call, pushing harder with each stroke. Despite being the “worse” boat on paper, we kept our heads on straight and gave it everything we had. By the last 500 meters, the A boat was within a boat length. I could barely believe it when I called that we were two seats down on them. After the race, my crew told me they didn’t believe it either in the moment. But as we launched into our final sprint, I was able to call two seats up by the time we crossed the finish line. It was an exhilarating race that showed how far we had come—and how much our work had paid off."
