Hi, I’m Ava Mariani, a freshman novice rower on the University of Oklahoma women’s rowing team. Growing up as a multi-sport athlete in softball and flag football, I’ve developed a strong competitive personality and a drive to excel in everything I do. Joining OU’s rowing team was an unexpected opportunity, but I embraced it full heartedly, hoping to grow within my athletic and personal abilities. I’m currently pursuing a business degree, and I’m passionate about health, fitness, and inspiring others to be their most authentic selves. I’m excited to partner with brands that value leadership and authenticity.
