Tell us about your travel team/organization and how you became involved with them?
I have had the pleasure to play for Coach (Steve) Jones for one year. I’m so lucky to play with and be surrounded by such a talented and funny group of girls. I’ve never experienced the team chemistry and culture this team has built. As we join the Hotshots organization, I look forward to competing and playing with these girls this summer and look forward to PGF!
Can you talk about your experience at Vista Ridge High and what you’ve done there this year?
I have played two years at Vista Ridge. I’ve had a great opportunity to pitch, always be in the lineup and play new spots in the field. I’ve been super lucky to have upperclassmen that have welcomed me and taken care of me from Day 1. We have had a great team chemistry for two years and enjoyed our time on the field together. I’ve been lucky to have coaches in high school that have coached me to use my leadership skills and have believed in me.
Who is your sports hero?
Miranda Elish is my sport hero because she hits and pitches. She is always a gamer and I hope to accomplish the same at that level as well.
