Why Did You Choose KU?
I chose KU because it values diversity, which is important to me as a minority. I also came to KU because they were starting a criminal justice program, and I knew that was what I wanted to major in.
How Did You Get Introduced to Rowing?
I heard about rowing through other people who enjoyed it. I attended Prospect Day and realized it was something I could really see myself doing.
Favorite Thing to Do in Lawrence?
Eating on Mass Street.
