Start:

She began rowing at Winter Park High School in Florida, United States of America. (worldrowing.com, 01 Jun 2017)

Reason:

"I played soccer as a kid but broke my leg twice. After the second time, I decided to find a non-contact sport instead. My father said I should try something less hard so I wouldn't quit. Eventually I was drawn to coxing because it was out of my comfort zone and I enjoyed the challenge of helping all of my teammates be their best." (worldrowing.com, 01 Jun 2017)

General
LAST OLYMPIC GAMES
In 2020 she said the Olympic Games in Tokyo would be her last Games. "Absolutely it's my last Olympics. Rowing, you have to give everything in order to be successful. For me, it's not sustainable to keep giving everything for another quad. Even this quad, there have been some times where I've been like, 'Oh man, not this again'. You can't have that thought. You can't voice that thought. It's like, 'OK, I'm ready. It's someone else's turn'." (olympics.nbcsports.com, 13 Jan 2020)

BUSINESS OWNER
She and fellow US coxswain Leigh Warner co-founded a business called Launch Talks. The vlog discusses topics around rowing and the training involved via social media. "After I retire I want to be a part of Leigh's journey as hopefully [the US] coxswain leading up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris."
