"My first time in a boat was as a rowing recruit at the University of Washington. I had been an athlete my entire life, focusing mainly on volleyball and softball. I knew that I wanted to be a Division I college athlete, I just wasn't sure what sport and where. Throughout my athletic career, coaches were a bit hesitant to give a me a recruiting spot. That is, until I met the coach at the University of Washington in Seattle. Immediately, he was willing to take a chance on me. I was recruited my senior year of high school and signed on to row at UW without ever rowing before. Immediately, I loved the intensity and precision required to be great." (hydrow.com, 28 Oct 2019)

OCCUPATION
She works as the lead trainer, lead athlete and director of talent at Hydrow, an outdoor reality rowing company based in Cambridge, MA, United States of America. "When I first met with the team here at Hydrow, it was just a small group of people, we didn't even have a prototype yet. But I believed in the concept and saw what this could be. There's no blueprint for what we're doing here, so there have definitely been moments of uncertainty along the way. Here we are, all these months later, with something that is truly moving people and making an impact on their lives, it's crazy, but really, really exciting." (hydrow.com, 28 Oct 2019)
