Personal: Native of Galloway, N.J. born Dec. 2, 2006 … One of two children to Ceil and Buzz Rynkiewicz … Has a sibling, Lulu … Studying Criminology … “I chose Villanova for its close-knit community that values community service. Coming from South Jersey, Villanova is close to home and mirrors many of the values my Catholic high school did. I enjoyed the beautiful campus and appreciated the connection students have with one another, and I couldn't imagine choosing any other place to pursue my next four years of rowing and learning.”
