I came from a low income family. Sport and student aid is the only way I have been able to attend college. I want to reach other athletes who have to take on a part-time job during the summer while training to make ends meet. My sport is very unique. I am a rower. You could have rowed for years & joined a D1 team or you could have never rowed before & joined a D1 team. It is about grit & passion. Rowing is a melting pot of people that do not get much recognition. Through media I want other athletes to realize they are not alone in the struggle to make ends meet and be a full time college athlete and to give female athletes a space to speak their mind and give them the recognition they deserve. Additionally, I want a voice for the sports that do not get much coverage. I am planning on going into marketing post college. I am the Vice President of Student Athlete Advisory Committee in the athletic department. I love being able to help athletes grow into the best version of themselves.
