I am a power pitcher, as my go-to pitch is my rise ball. I have an expansive arsenal that includes a riseball, curveball, screwball, changeup, drop curve, and off-speed curve. I am a vocal leader, and will grind to get batters out in any way possible. I am a hitter as well – I am a contact hitter with power, and I rarely strikeout. I have batted nearly .300 during my college career.

I have played 1st base (my secondary position) all of my life, and I have played a few times in my collegiate career. I take pride in my athleticism, as I am a hitter as well. I love being in the game no matter where it is, as I love to compete and do whatever it takes for my team to win! I have often been described as a gritty player who plays the game hard, which I take pride in!

I am very passionate about being a great teammate both on and off the field. I have been a fierce competitor since day one, and I have a great passion for the game. I am an intense player, and will do whatever it takes to win, no matter what. One of my favorite parts of the game is watching my teammates succeed and reach their goals. As I aim to reach new heights, I am always looking to bring my fellow teammates with me. Over the years, I have learned that softball games are won by teams, not just individuals, and it is important to understand that everyone plays a crucial role especially at the highest level. As a pitcher, I am always helping both other pitchers and hitters about the mental/ strategic side of the game, and constantly working to make them better. I also bring a lot of energy to the table, as I am proud to consider myself one of the loudest voices in the dugout!

Overseas Goals

I love the game, and I have never stopped loving the game. Softball has been my life, and I love to work hard and compete. I am always looking to expand my goals, and work as hard as possible to reach them. I also love being a part of a team, as I have met some of the best people while playing the sport. Not only do I love the competitive aspect of the game, but I also take pride in my mechanical knowledge of the game, especially when it comes to pitching. I love learning and teaching others, and would like to expand my career for as long as possible.

I am currently playing my 5th year of college softball, as I pitch 14+ innings every week
