Personal Statement
I was introduced to crew at the age of 12 during the fall of 2016 and the sport quickly won me over. I spent two years on the middle school squad, one year as a rower (2016-2017) until I switched to coxing in the fall of the next year (2017-2018). The following fall season I joined the novice men's squad (2018-2019). The summer following my novice year I was one of two coxswains selected for a higher performance St. Andrew's Rowing Club camp that culminated at USRowing National Championships (Club Nationals). I am currently a varsity level coxswain for the men's squad at St. Andrew Rowing Club. I love being a coxswain because my team is my second family. I love how we all support each other towards individual goals as well as working together towards a common goal. As a coxswain I use my leadership and detail oriented skills to be on top of every task I am given, stay organized, be responsible for my actions. I am determined and am always working towards being in better boats. I pride myself on always applying myself fully to my coxing and my team, and I strive to push myself and my teammates towards improvement.
