Why Penn? “Penn is a place that will simultaneously challenge you greatly and give you loads of opportunities, which is what I wanted out of my college experience.”
 
Why Rowing? “Rowing is hard—more than any other sport I’ve done, it is the most demanding when it comes to combining fitness and technique. It gives me something to focus on and work towards, and I get to be a part of a great team.”
