Their story

From the field to the mentor's seat

I started my rowing career at the scholastic level, transitioning to club, and now racing at the collegiate level. I’ve had the opportunity to race all over the country and at some of the most competitive events, including national championships. Some of the most important things that the sport has taught me are how to overcome challenges and face intense pressure. I want to be able to use the skills I have learned throughout the years to help the next generation of athletes become the best versions of themselves.

Why they mentor

“Competing in sports at many different levels has shown me that success is about far more than performance. The mental and emotional challenges athletes face are often just as demanding as the physical ones, yet they are often overlooked. I want to use what I have learned to help the next generation of athletes prioritize their mental well-being alongside their athletic goals. I believe the strongest teams and the greatest athletes are built in environments where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to be themselves.”
