It all started because I wanted to follow in my brother's footsteps, unfortunately, the guitar wasn't an option, so rowing it was. I learned to row at Cheltenham Ladies' College and continued as part of the Women's Division 1 Varsity Team at Clemson University during college.
The dreams only got bigger, when in 2020 I rowed across the Atlantic in 43 days, 15 hours and 22 minutes becoming the first brother-sister team to ever row an ocean and the fastest mixed pair.
I knew the Pacific was next, and I am thrilled to be doing it with my best friend Jenny. Not only is she is an incredible woman, intellectually, and athletically but a reliable friend who I know is willing to put everything into making the Pacific a successful and record-breaking crossing. #UnitedRow
