Throughout my career I have made my life for Christ a priority, which has ultimately helped me on and off the field. I have been lucky enough to go through this journey with loving parents and my faith supporting me. I have been playing softball since I was 5 years old and my love for the game has only been growing, as well as my appreciation for all of the opportunities I have been given. One aspect that sets me apart from my peers is my constant love for other people. I will always try my best to be encouraging. There is rare occasion when you will see me sitting down inside of the dugout, cheering at the fence is one of my favorite parts of the game. I prioritize keeping a smile on my face no matter the outcome of the game. As a student athlete I have learned how to balance school and sports in a positive way and have good results from both ends. At the end of the day, God has given me these opportunities, and my body the ability to keep playing the game. I love My parents, who have given up countless hours of time and financially supported me through this entire journey, always remind me everyday to keep my faith ahead of everything and to keep pushing. I understand that going to school for nursing and being a collegiate athlete is a lot of work. However, I am determined to set goals and reach them all while giving Him the glory.
