Skills
- Resilience and Tenacity Exampled through training 6 days a week to achieve international rowing honors whilst studying for both my GCSE's and A Levels
- Positive disposition I believe attacking matters positively with a forward thinking attitude helps me and those I am with move forward together successfully This has been demonstrated throughout my rowing career, especially when faced with significant injury in the final quarter of my first year in the US
- Extracurricular Leadership In my Freshman year I was voted part of the "Student Leadership Team," to represent the Freshman rowing athletes - a link between the team and the coaches
- Deadline Adherence I have demonstrated at university my ability to perform at the highest level of the rowing programme (training twice daily) and meet all my academic deadlines - delivering a 379 GPA (equivalent to an average grade across one year of A-)
- Performance under Pressure Final crew selection for an international seat requires significant focus and the ability to perform at the highest level when faced with the highest stakes - being awarded a "Worlds" seat in July 2024 demonstrated this approach
