Tell us about your experiences with Top Gun and how you became involved with them?
I recently joined Top Gun and I love it. They (Bob Turner and Brent Wilhelm) approached me about coming to play for them and after lengthy discussion with my parents, it was an opportunity I could not pass up. The environment and coaching are amazing. The coaches and girls will do anything to help and support you.
What do you bring to the team?
I am the only slapper on my team, so I bring speed and a little chaos with the defense not knowing how to play me.
What area are you focusing on/trying to improve this summer?
I am focusing on getting more comfortable diving for balls just out of my reach in the outfield.
What is something you have faced in your life that has helped you become the person that you are today?
My mom, Christine, had an unexpected surgery where her appendix had burst. She was in bad shape, but thank God she was okay. It made me realize that I need to live life and enjoy every moment I can.
