Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I am an all-in, get dirty, do whatever it takes to make the play kind of a player. I am versatile and can play any position on the field, except catcher. I am focused and am always ready for any scenario before it happens. I am a 2x All-Region player as a pitcher and shortstop. I have a strong bat and a solid glove.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I am energetic, enthusiastic and ambitious. I am honest, witty and loyal. I am humble, yet confident. When I am not playing softball, basketball or volleyball, I am spending time with family and friends.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
As a high school three sport athlete, there is not a lot of time left for other clubs but I am active in my church and student groups at church.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I am team player and a leader on and off the field and basketball/volleyball court. I lead by example and my coaches always look to me to help guide the team. Currently, I go to less fortunate communities at Thanksgiving, with my club team, to hand out Thanksgiving meals. I do community service activities with my church. I give free softball lessons to younger kids in my area.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
In September 2023, I had rotator cuff and labrum surgery. I worked hard and was able to come back at the end of basketball season. I had a very successful 2024 softball season and feel like I’ve come back stronger than before. When you hear you need surgery that could compromise your future dreams as a college athlete and you come through it even stronger than before, it’s a huge accomplishment.
What type of college are you looking for?
I want a college that is a good fit for my personality and my playing style. I am looking for a strong and competitive softball program, with experienced and dedicated coaches. I would like a college with a good academic reputation, academic support for athletes and a great campus culture.
