“I am a journalist by profession and one day, my cameraman was telling me about this sport called dragon boat because he knew I was into water sports. That was eight years ago and it's funny because I found the sport when I needed a positive distraction in my personal life. As my coach Zaahir says, it's where we escape for a moment.

My favorite memory is going on a beach tour during a hurricane watch with my team, Dragons of the Caribbean.”
