Korvink-Kucinski has held leadership positions in the University of Texas Rowing Team and the Texas Aerial Robotics (TAR) student organization.

She is proud of her rowing and the journey from freshman year of high school until now and says the many hours of work and dedication have led her to amazing opportunities to work with incredible, focused, and dedicated athletes and very experienced coaches. The lessons learned on the water have helped her in many aspects off the water in both the classroom and everyday life.

“Learning how to manage difficulties, small and large, in a variety of aspects has led me to be a better leader,” said Korvink-Kucinski. “Taking these experiences has helped me to lead others in managing their own struggles and overcoming them.”
