Schooling
Behrent was born in Oamaru[2] in 1990.[1] She received her schooling at Southland Girls' High School in Invercargill.[3] Behrent had planned to start her tertiary education at the University of Otago in 2010 when she received her call to the New Zealand rowing squad. She moved to Cambridge to be at the New Zealand training centre at Lake Karapiro and studied at the University of Waikato instead.[3]

She never took up rowing while at high school; it was at
