About Hattie:

What course are you studying and what level?

MEng Engineering Science (4th year)

Why did you chose that course?

I enjoy engineering as it is a subject that allows you to apply maths and physics to real life problems. I have chosen to specialize in machine learning, control theory and software engineering which are areas that I find particularly interesting.

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

I went along to the freshers week Exeter college boat club BBQ. Although I didn’t initially want to row, I ended up joining ECBC as it was something that seemed fun!

I love rowing as you get to train alongside extremely dedicated and inspirational athletes.

What was your first rowing club and coach?

Rachel Cannon, Louis Nares at Exeter College, Oxford

How has rowing and being part of the Boat Race squad impacted your life?

My teammates are some of my closest friends, and being part of the squad has given me such a fun university experience with so many incredible opportunities.

If you weren’t a rower, what sport do you think you’d excel at?

Maybe long distance running
