Tell us about your travel team/organization and how you became involved with them?
My travel organization is based in Zeeland, MI. At the age of 8, I had a big passion for softball and wanted to play at a higher level. So, my parents had me start playing travel ball through MI Storm. I have grown and improved as a player through playing with Storm. I have been lucky to be coached by two former collegiate softball coaches and former D1 players. From when I joined at 8 years old, I am still playing with a couple of those girls. The bonds we have formed together are unbreakable.
