As corny as it sounds, my first word as an infant was "ball". My athletic career started at the tender age of three, when my parents signed me up to play t-ball with the boys! After a few years of enjoying the challenge of being the only girl on my teams, I transitioned from baseball to softball and immediately fell in love with the diamond on which I’ve played ever since.While developing a deep and enduring love for my sport, I’ve taken great pride in furthering my education. I have been enrolled in honors classes since the start of middle school, and Icurrently hold a cumulative high school GPA of 4.75. I could not be more excited to begin the college recruiting process, and I look forward to exploring both my softball and my scholastic options. One day, I hope to raise a happy family and become a successful engineer. In the interim, no matter what the future holds for me, I plan to continue to strive for excellence both on the dirt and in the classroom!
