Tell us about your travel team/organization and how you became involved with them?
I play for Finesse-Hoverman 14U. I became involved with Finesse earlier this year. When they reached out for me to sub, I said yes and it was probably the best decision I made so far. The support, encouragement and heart these coaches had shown me in the short time I subbed, I just knew this is where I needed to be. The girls on this team are so talented and great to be around. I felt like I had known them forever. I am so excited to see what this summer will bring for my team and so excited to set new goals for myself as well.
Can you talk about your experience at Glenoak High and how you did there?
I am a freshman at Glenoak. My experience so far has been nothing but great. This year was my coaches first year as well and we may have not had a winning season, but she has taught me so much as a person and as a teammate and I can not thank her enough. I look forward for the next three years with her and my teammates.
Who is your sports hero?
I follow a few girls on social media and watch them play on TV that I consider great softball players and I feel like there are so many girls I look up to for different reasons.
Do you have a secret talent/skill?
I can pop my shoulder blades out.
What’s your most memorable softball story?
I would definitely have to say it would be the game this year when we were tied going into the bottom of the 8th and I hit a walk-off home run.
