Rowing - Women's
I was recruited by the URI Women's Rowing coaches when I was a high school senior. In my four years with Rhody Rowing I competed in prestigious head races including the Princeton Chase and the Head of the Charles River Regatta. My team won three Atlantic 10 titles (2016, 2018, and 2019) which earned us a spot in three NCAA championships (Sacramento, CA, Sarasota, FL, and Indianapolis, IN). In the summer of 2018 the top two boats travelled to Henley, England to race in the Women's Henley.
