The best part about being on Cal Crew is: Being able to put in the work and earn two national championships as a reward.
The best part of the University is: While there is a large student-teacher ratio, I have learned to take initiative to get help when I need it.
My greatest achievement/finest moment was: Crossing the finish line at NCAAs the last two years and knowing that our boat did what we had to do to get our team that team championship.
