I’ve been playing baseball since I was 4 years old and currently play for the NOVA Premier 17U team. Our group is driven to compete at the college level, and over the past year, we’ve participated in some of the most competitive tournaments. During the 2025 Summer Season, we finished with a strong 25-9 record. As one of the top players on my team, I serve as both the lead catcher and pitcher. Perfect Game ranked me as the #8 catcher in Virginia, #38 overall player, and #186 catcher in the nation in 2023.

My passion for baseball began early, and my skills were quickly recognized by coaches throughout my career. I’ve been described as “one of the best catchers my Little League has ever produced” and “the best hitter of my Little League class.” I also set a record for home runs while playing travel baseball with the Potomac Riverdogs and won the 2021 CLLL11U Home Run Derby.

The past two years have intensified my passion for high school baseball, solidifying my focus on achieving my collegiate aspirations. Being named "First Team All-District and 2nd Team All-Region as a catcher" during my Varsity Sophomore year (2025) exemplifies this drive. That same season, while playing for Heritage High School, we ended as Regular Season, District, 4C Region, and VHSL Class 4 State Champions. I live by the saying, "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard," and I firmly believe in the importance of staying humble. I dedicate myself to improving my skills during the season and spend the off-season preparing both physically and mentally for the next challenge. I regularly train at the Player Development Lab in Ashburn, VA, working on my hitting and pitching mechanics, and I attend catching clinics in my area to continue learning and growing.

My coaches view me as a role model for my teammates, and my commitment to the game has inspired my parents to continue supporting my baseball aspirations. I am driven, competitive, and always eager to challenge myself. I’m constantly looking for opportunities to improve and prove myself on and off the field.
