Why did you join Crew? I'd always seen people rowing on the Potomac River in Washington, and thought it looked cool. Then I saw people walking around with oars one day at Lawrence, went to a practice, and never left.
What's your favorite Crew memory so far? the Northstar Challenge Regatta in 2009-everyone was happy, the team did really well, and we all rediscovered why we loved rowing.
What's a random fact about you? I was born almost literally in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge.
