My passion for the game of baseball in addition to my drive to succeed in everything I dedicate my efforts to has allowed me to play and excel in the game I love and academically. As far back as I can remember, I have always been determined to work hard to achieve my goal of playing baseball at the collegiate level.   

In my primary position of catcher, I have good foot work and placement, create good angles, and keep the ball close when blocking, fast arm with solid transfers and my throws are on the money. As a catcher, I enjoy the leadership aspect of the position and enjoying encouraging my teammates. I have an extremely high overall baseball IQ. I have a great athletic build and I am dedicated to continuing to improve my strength to achieve my athletic goals. I am personally committed to being the hardest working player on the field and look forward to continuing to grow as an athlete.

I am just as dedicated to reaching my goals academically. I maintain a high GPA while taking honors courses and am currently finishing up my third year of foreign language. In my freshman year I was presented with the Outstanding Athletic Achievement Freshman Letter in Baseball, Scholar Athlete Award, and the Certificate of Excellence for outstanding academic performance.
