2024 Highlights
February 2024Personal Statement
Hi! I have both British and American citizenship, I spent my early childhood living in England, where I watched the Henley Royal Regatta and fell in love with the sport. I started rowing with Greenwich Crew when I was 12 years old, I spent a season rowing competitively for my school in 9th grade, before returning back to Greenwich Crew and have been a core part of the team ever since. Since I row year-round for Greenwich crew I have found a family and a big sense of community that I hope to find in my collegiate career. I would not trade the family that I have found through this team, for anything. Because of the opportunities at Greenwich Country Day School, I have been allowed to take a line of classes that interest me. I have been interested in sustainability and environmental studies since a young age and I have had the chance to take these courses for the last 3 years. I am a candidate for the Sustainability Diploma at my school, which is an optional course for those who want to graduate with extra honors. I hope to continue this academic path at college. Finally, I would love to find a college team that is a big family and supports one another with a coach who strives for the best of their team.
