Tell us a little about yourself and your softball journey.

I have 2 brothers, I am very artistic, I love going to concerts, tanning, swimming, and hanging out with friends. I have played softball for about 13 years now and I love it more than ever. I started off playing rec ball, then went into select ball pretty quick. Pitching has always been my favorite thing to do, I've been pitching for about 10 years. My freshman year, I tried out for FC DFW Martinez and it was the best thing that could've happened. I love where I'm at and I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to finish out my last year of select ball with my amazing coaches and friends.

What made you fall in love with softball?

The way I can step on the field and forget about everything else going on in the outside world, and the amazing people softball has blessed me with, made me fall in love with the game.

What do you consider your biggest strength on the field?

I think my biggest strength is being able to pick my teammates up no matter how I am playing that day.

What part of your game are you working hardest to improve?

I’m working hardest on building a stronger presence in the circle and becoming the pitcher batters don’t want to face.

Who has had the biggest influence on your softball career, and why?

My pitching Coach, Meagan Denny White, has had the biggest influence on my softball career. She has been with me through it all and constantly shows up and motivates me to be the best pitcher, and an even better person.

What’s your favorite softball memory so far?

My favorite softball memory so far is getting to play in Colorado, and getting to zip line and water raft with my team.

What does being a great teammate mean to you?

To me, being a great teammate means supporting others, staying positive, holding each other accountable, and always putting my team before myself. It’s about being someone my teammates can count on both on and off the field.

What are your biggest goals for your high school and travel-ball career?

My biggest goals for high school ball are to reach 1000 strikeouts by the end of the season, and to leave the program better than I found it. My biggest goals for travel ball are to have fun, play to our fullest potential, get recruited, and leave with no regrets.

What are you looking for in a college softball program?

I am looking for a college softball program that feels like home, filled with teammates that care about each other and work hard to be the best they can be, and a coaching staff that doesn't just care about who I am on the field, but off the field as well. I am looking for a program that is going to shape me into the best athlete and person I can be.

What do you want college coaches to know about you?

I want college coaches to know that I’m extremely competitive, coachable, and willing to put in the work. I want to be the pitcher my team can rely on in big moments.
