When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

I learnt to row during my MSc in Vancouver.

What was your first rowing club and coach?

UBC Vancouver, Canada. First Coach Zoe Fettig-Win

How has rowing and being part of the Boat Race squad impacted your life?

It has given me structure and a good outlet for a hectic academic schedule.

If you weren’t a rower, what sport do you think you’d excel at?

I’d go back to climbing. I love the community and the opportunities you get going into the mountains.

What is your favourite non-academic book?

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (by Samin Nosrat). I love to cook, and as athlete fuelling is obviously very important, so the food quality plays a big part in my life.
