When I was young I lived in softball complexes. My older sisters played travel ball around the west, and looking up to them, I decided to begin playing as well. Each year I set different goals for myself, whether they are personal or team, and I spend countless hours in season and in the off season to reach them. Although being a young player, I have been azpproached by teammates of all grades, including my sister in her senior season, for a helping hand in batting and defense practices. This has allowed me to form irreplaceable bonds and a higher sense of confidence in myself to grow as a person and as a player. I went to Loyola Sacred Heart High School, in Missoula, Montana, and had a grade point average of 3.0 in a state recognized college prep school. I decided to switch schools my junior year, seeking a desired plan to play college softball while being able to enjoy the place I was living. Unsatisfied with Missoula, I eagerly jumped in two feet first at an opportunity to move 6 hours from my home town, to live with my oldest sister and my brother-in-law in Chelan, Washington.
