Fun Facts
What I love about rowing
I love that rowing is a balance between opposites: power and grace, technique and effort, precision and relaxation. I love that it's both a team and an individual sport. I love being outside in nature, on the water. And I especially love the sound a boat makes when it's going fast.
Favorite place to race
Lucerne, Switzerland

Hiking, skiing, reading, baking bread, accidentally killing houseplants
