Personal

Strong for average hitter, consistent QABs, speed on the bases, range in the outfield, velo across the outfield with accuracy.

I caught for over a decade in minor softball, before transitioning into an outfielder in college and international play. I also have a decade of coaching experience for catchers and have a highly technical understanding of the position.

I have a strong lead by example leadership style, with experience leading widely younger players as well as contributing to more seasoned teams. I believe in cultivating strong team cultures and dynamics through positive energy and passion, as well as commitment and attention to the little things (respect for equipment, facilities, players and coaches; keeping dugout clean; leaving things better than you found them).

Coaching

I work very well with young athletes and have a strong grasp of coaching fundamentals, I have coached with a variety of other coaches and have an extensive coaching vocabulary. This gives me the ability to connect with players and communicate information in a way that makes sense to them. Especially having played both baseball and softball, as many technical terms are used across both sports yet not widely understood by players.

 

Overseas Goals

I love the game and want to play as long as possible. I am hoping to use an overseas season to prepare for the new women’s professional baseball league in 2026, but would also love to further my softball career through overseas competition.

I spend my off season coaching youth softball and baseball, as well as working out and spending time in the cages.
