Why Yale: “People talk about the feeling of just knowing that a school is for them the moment that they step foot on campus. That is not quite what happened to me. Of course the beauty and energy of the campus is unreal but I didn''t fall in love with the school until I started talking to Yale students. Every single person I spoke to was interesting, engaging, and friendly. As for the rowing team: I am honored and excited to be a new member of a team of outstanding women. I watched their intensity on the water and team unity on land. I cannot wait to be part that.”

HS Coach: Ethan Curran
