More about Andreea
First Strokes
My cross-country ski coach told me that I should paddle over the summer to stay in shape in the off-season. I did one summer camp at Cascade and was completely hooked on paddling, and when I joined the team, I refused to kayak so I became a canoeist!
Off the Water
I coach at Seattle Canoe and Kayak Club. I just graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, so now I’m looking for a job where I can use my education while still balancing training!
