Rowing taught me discipline, accountability, and how to perform under pressure. Early mornings on the water built habits I now bring into my journey toward the fire service: show up prepared, communicate clearly, and follow through — even when it’s tough. Serving as Vice President and President of the team also gave me hands-on experience with operations, logistics, and team support. Those leadership roles helped me understand what it takes to keep a group moving in the same direction — skills I’m carrying forward as I prepare for a future career in firefighting.
Rowing gave me a blueprint for what high-performance teams need to succeed: clear roles, consistent habits, and trust you can rely on. As I work toward a career in the fire service, I bring that same standard with me — show up prepared, communicate with intention, and execute as a team.
