Ellen’s approach to coaching young adults is based on having fun, making friends, and improving fitness. She has been rowing since 2014, and coaching since 2015. She has coached many Juniors in both sweep and sculling. With her positive approach and encouragement, students will learn the skills to continue rowing for recreation or move to the competitive level.

Ellen brings many years of teaching children and young adults, preschool through high school, as a Speech-Language Pathologist. She previously coached high school color guard and has extensive experience organizing practices and taking students to competitions around the state. She now brings that experience plus her love of rowing to the Juniors program.

“It is a lifelong passion and even people who have been rowing for years are still working on perfecting their stroke”
