Enthusiasm, confidence and ambition.
Capsizing while hippos and crocodiles are close.
I am the third born of six, grew up with both parents. I managed to complete my secondary and had an opportunity to row in 2020 and since then I've been rowing while waiting for my time to go to college.
What is motivating me to participate in this expedition my mentor and coach James Stephens on he always told me to grab an opportunity that comes my way with both hands. He's motivated me to be myself and embrace rowing with everything in me.
What worries me is that I might not give it my best and then disappoint the team, the other is that I might not be the best support to my team.
I like to joke a lot.
I like playing with water while it's pretty cool.
