Speak to Flo about college recruitment, improving your rowing or preparing for races:
GB Rowing Team, Princeton Alum
I’m Flo! I graduated from Princeton University in 2022 with a degree in History and I am now studying Law at the University of Law in London. Alongside my academics I have also spent a lot of my life rowing!
I began rowing at Lea RC in East London as a Junior and went on to compete at the Junior World and European Championships. In my final year at school, I was accepted to Princeton but decided to take a gap year to spend a little more time at home and further my rowing career at Leander. After a year at Leander, I embarked on an amazing college experience at Princeton. Although my sophomore and junior season’s were disrupted by Covid, I had two successful full seasons in the Varsity Eight in my freshman and senior year, winning the Ivy League Championships both years and coming 3rd at NCAA’s in my final year.
After graduating from Princeton, I came back to the UK to compete for selection for the GB Rowing Team. I was selected to be part of the team for the 2023 season and I was a spare for the 2023 World Championships. I am now embarking on a career in Law, as well as going back to my roots and coaching the Juniors at Lea RC.
I had such an amazing experience going to university in America—it really is a life-changing opportunity—and I am very excited about helping others do the same. Having gone through the process myself, I understand how unfamiliar and stressful the U.S. recruitment journey can feel for both athletes and parents. My goal is to alleviate that stress and make the experience enjoyable, as it truly is an exciting experience and the outcome is definitely worth it!
