Personal
Brigid was born on 4/19/1999 and attended Moses Brown School. She won the CRCA Coaches Award in 2019 and holds numerous Concept2 American and world erg records. She received High Honors from Harvard Neuroscience and has received Autism research grants. Brigid enjoys baking, being outdoors, spending time with friends, and playing with her dog, Hazel. She was a pretty slow swimmer and tried out rowing to try to stay in shape during the swimming off season (thanks mom). She ended up falling in love with rowing and still loves it still! Her godmother, Alana, is one of her heroes. She works tirelessly as a surgeon and has shown Brigid how to chase after dreams. Brigid wants to thank her parents for their support. Getting here took a lot of work and many early mornings, none of which would have been possible without them. Shed also like to thank Peter Wilhelm for teaching her to row and guiding her in the years since. Thank you to Riverside Boat Club, Narragansett Boat Club, and Harvard-Radcliffe rowing for their support this year and all the years leading up to this one. Go Stripes!
