Favorite Erg Piece:

--Interval piece with 1000 meters at 5k split plus ten seconds, 500 meters at 5k split, and then the last 500 meters at 2k split. I also really like rotation pieces, like the Don Craig.

Favorite Cox'n Calls:

--Feel that run under the boat! We’re flyin! Drive with those legs, Push!

Favorite Rowing Memory:

--Scrimmaging at KU during spring break. I did a women’s novice four with Haley, Kailey, and Megan with CJ coxing. Our set felt so great and everything was together. Definitely felt the run under the boat! I also got to cox my first race there in a bow coxed men's four, it was so much fun.

If you could travel to any country, which one would it be? and Why?

--Germany because there is a lot to explore and it is where I trace back my family roots, from both sides. It would be cool to learn some family history there. I also have a really good friend that lives there, so of course I have to visit him.
