Emily Strambi
After graduating from UPenn in May 2022, where she rowed for 4 years and captained the rowing team as a senior, Emily has been seeking ways to give back to a sport that has opened so many doors and opportunities for me. Rowing is a sport that changed her life and turned her into the woman she is today, and it is incredibly important to her that she assists in sharing the gift of rowing with others. When the opportunity arose to join Row New York’s Associate Circle and run the 2024 New York Half Marathon for RNY, it was a no brainer!
