Personal Statement

Updated 4/20/2020:  I have committed to Michigan State University to continue my Education and Play Softball.  :) 

It has been a dream of mine to play collegiate softball at a high level for as long I can remember.   Softball has always been a constant in my life and my love for the game has only grown stronger as the years have passed.  I am extremely passionate about the game and something that separates me from other players is that I know the game inside and out.  I believe my "Softball IQ" is very advanced and I am also very vocal on the field.  My desire to play the game only increased as I learned it could help me attain a college education - because that is my first priority.  I want to find a school that has the right fit academically above all.

In high school, I was the Link Crew Commissioner for the ASB/Leadership program at my school on top of being in Friendship Club and Key Club. I lead by example on campus and on the field by exemplifying passion, hard work and grit.
