About Catherine:

What is your reason for your course choice?

I grew up on a farm, so was always surrounded by nature and am interested in looking at how nature and agriculture can interact sustainably allowing for both biodiversity and food production

When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

Somerville College Boat Club. Started in freshers after really enjoying a taster session and got hooked from then on. I rowed with SCBC for two years, was captain in my second year and then did the development squad with OUBC. I love how it gets me to push myself out of my comfort zone. Also the pretty sunrises are a good bonus…

What was your first rowing club and coach?

Somerville College Boat Club, James McAnallen and Adam Gillett

What sport did you prioritise growing up?

Hockey and Swimming

What is your favourite non-academic book?

All the light we cannot see
