On the docks with Eyre…
Enjoys the outdoors, Ceramics, cooking, and learning about different cultures outside of rowing…Favorite rowing memory is earning second place at Nationals in the quad her senior year in high school after facing much adversity as a boat. Her rowing superstition is to never put back on a medal after it has been taken off… Favorite athlete is Lance Armstrong because he has dealt with much adversity throughout his life, and he has been able to use it to fuel his passion for cycling and to help others through his foundation.
