Athletic profile

Rowing and measurable progress

I row with Row New York and am continuing to build strength, endurance, and technical consistency. Rowing is one of the clearest ways I measure progress: the preparation shows up in the boat, on the erg, and in the result.

My recent 2k improvement from 6:59.2 to 6:52 reflects a step forward, but not the endpoint. I am training toward the low/mid-6:40s and plan to keep coaches updated as my race results and erg scores improve.

Academic profile

Writing, evidence, and disciplined thinking

I am interested in academic areas that require close reading, structured argument, careful evidence, and responsibility: law, public policy, economics, history, philosophy, and political institutions.

My goal is to find a college environment where I can grow intellectually, contribute to a rowing team, and build a strong foundation for law school or another rigorous graduate path.

Personal story

Why rowing matters

Rowing does not allow much hiding. A rower has to face preparation, consistency, pain, teamwork, and measurable results. That has changed the way I think about improvement.

A 2k score does not tell the whole story, but it does show whether the work is moving in the right direction. Improving from 6:59.2 to 6:52 showed me that progress comes from structure and ownership, not just effort.

That lesson matters beyond rowing. In school, in writing, and in future legal or public-policy work, the same principle applies: evidence matters, preparation matters, and discipline compounds.

College goals

Serious academics, serious rowing

Academic fit

I am looking for a college with strong teaching, demanding writing and discussion-based courses, and opportunities connected to law, public life, policy, history, economics, and civic institutions.

Team fit

I want to contribute to a rowing program where I can keep improving, support my teammates, and compete in an environment that rewards consistency, discipline, and accountability.
