Personal
A power hitter with good discipline, and an efficient speed of arm across the diamond.
I have nearly started all my years at third base at the University of Indianapolis, but have experienced diversity in playing time.
I am a supportive and positive teammate who loves to create a welcoming and motivating environment. I am a grounding presence, especially during high-pressure situations, helping my team maintain focus and composure. I am open-minded and committed to inclusivity, always striving to be aware of unconscious biases and branching out to embrace diversity. My faith guides me, allowing God to work between my team and myself, adding a sense of purpose and integrity to my interactions. Overall, I am a compassionate, grounded, and positive teammate who values inclusivity and approaches teamwork with a sense of purpose.
Career highlights

Overseas Goals
I want to take my career overseas because of the opportunities it can provide and it is the perfect time to do it. I have a soulful mission myself of spreading Jesus’s story and this opportunity can sure be apart my personal testimony.
Similar lifts and have kept my diet similar, staying loose off the tee and front toss while fielding fungo.
