| BIOGRAPHY |
|||||
| I am a member of the US National Development Team and placed 6th at the last two US National Team Trails. I am currently a Sophomore at Davidson College pursuing a Psychology Major and a French Minor. I have raced with NRC since I learned to kayak in a YMCA pool rolling class in Asheville. I am honored to be a part of a team of such talented athletes. I also consider myself extremely lucky to be able to work with NRC head coach Rafal Smolen, an extraordinarily talented and knowledgeable coach. | |||||
