Tara Walhart
Tara took up rowing as an adult after a knee injury ended her professional cycling aspirations. She first learned to scull on Lake Merced in San Francisco. Tara is a feisty lightweigh rower who can row any seat- any time- any boat! When not rowing, Dr. Walhart conducts immunotherapy research to develop better CAR T-cells to treat cancer. She has an amazing cat, SamCat. When she's not rowing or working she enjoys traveling, dancing, and spending time with awesome people. She credits Lesleh Wright and John Kaitz as having the greatest influence on her rowing development.
