About Rebecca Caroe

Rebecca is a rower, coach and a marketing professional. Rowing since university, sculling since realising that unless she joined a sculling club, she'd always be drawn back to rowing and coaching since her second year in the sport. She loves the sport, its amateurism, its professionalism, its family nature and the passions it creates. She hates windy weather, cold, closed-minds and people who won't try something new. Enjoy!
