The opportunity to challenge ourselves out of our comfort zone is an opportunity NWL has provided that has had a pivotal role in shaping my life. The struggles turn into opportunities for growth and the joys become ever more joyous. This camp has given me a foundation of experiences I have been able to use as lessons that can help me in my daily life. From the moment I stepped foot into the NWL family I understood the magic and love garnered in the community.

Growing up in Santa Barbara California, I played water polo throughout elementary, middle and high school. During high school I began rowing crew, and rowed for my first two years at my current university Columbia. I am an incoming Junior studying Psychology and Economics, with a large interest in real estate investments. I love living in New York, but I’m much more excited to be paddling the lakes of Ontario.
