Being an RBC Athlete means...

It means a great deal to be supported by a Canadian company who not only supports me financially, but also recognizes my dream of winning a gold medal as a worthwhile endeavour. Being an RBC Olympian also means I am gaining valuable work experience, which I plan on using as an RBC employee after the completion of my rowing career.
