Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I’m a versatile, high-energy player who thrives under pressure and loves to compete. As a lefty bat with speed, I’m aggressive on the bases and constantly looking to create scoring opportunities. Whether I’m holding down the middle infield or covering ground in center field, I bring intensity, adaptability, and a team-first mindset every time I step on the field.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I bring a mentally tough, focused mindset to every game and practice. I pride myself on having a strong softball IQ, thinking ahead and reading plays before they happen, staying composed under pressure, and constantly looking for ways to outsmart my opponents. I embrace challenges and use them as fuel to grow and lead by example.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I’m involved in both our HS DECA, FCA clubs. Additionally, I help coach youth Basketball through our local rec dept.
lastly, I have received academic all-state recognition.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
Through sports and activities like FCA and DECA, I’ve developed leadership by setting the tone for my team with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. I’ve learned the importance of teamwork,communicating clearly, trusting others, and putting the team’s goals first. I’ve also gained a heart for service by giving back to my school,and community, whether through volunteer work, mentoring younger
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is competing at a high level in club softball, where the pressure to perform is constant and the competition is tough. Early on, I had to learn how to bounce back from mistakes, block out distractions, and stay confident even when things didn’t go my way. That experience built a strong foundation of mental toughness.
What type of college are you looking for?
I’m looking for a college that feels like home. A place where the coaching staff values my athleticism and who I am as a person. I want to be part of a competitive program that challenges me to grow every day, both on and off the field, and pushes me to be better than I was yesterday.
