Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I’m a versatile and instinctive player who understands the game situationally. I consistently find ways to move runners, whether that’s dropping a bunt, driving the ball into the gap, or sitting back and sending it over the fence. I play all over the field: catcher, middle infield, outfield, wherever the team needs me. I play fast, smart, and aggressive.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I’m competitive, coachable, and wired to outwork everyone around me. I stay locked in, I ask questions, and I hold myself accountable. I don’t make excuses, I find solutions. Whether it’s a clutch at-bat or backing up a teammate, I show up with energy and focus every single rep.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I’m in all honors-level courses and currently hold a 4.5 GPA. I’ve been recognized for academic excellence multiple times and take pride in being just as strong in the classroom as I am on the field.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I’ve learned how to lead through actions and energy. I communicate constantly on the field and help younger athletes during practices. Playing different positions has helped me understand the importance of teamwork and adapting to help the team win. I’ve also volunteered in youth camps and know how to bring a team together.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
After moving from Washington to Arizona, I had to rebuild my name in a new softball community. It wasn’t easy, especially after being a top catcher in my age group up north. I went to multiple tryouts, faced rejection, and even battled self-doubt. But I kept working. I’ve now found a home on a national-level team and know that persistence pays off.
What type of college are you looking for?
I’m looking for a highly competitive D1 program where I can grow as a student-athlete and contribute on and off the field. I’m especially drawn to Power 4 schools that have elite facilities, strong academics, and a culture built on grit, accountability, and development. I want to be somewhere that feels like family but trains like the next level.
