What's your softball background? How did you get started? How old were you? I started T-Ball when I was six. I really enjoyed, and a friend told me about travel ball when I was eight, so I tried out and made a 10U travel team. The rest is history.

What's your favorite thing about softball? I love being part of a team and I have a deep passion for the game.

What are you plans this summer? Play a lot of softball and hang out with family and friends. 

How is the recruiting process going, have you been to any college camps or taken unofficial campus visits? I've attended a couple college camps, Northwestern and Univ. of Wisconsin - Parkside, and I began the recruiting process this January but now that school is done I can focus and concentrate on it a lot more.  

What’s been your favorite softball memory so far in your young career? When I hit my first  over the fence home run in travel and high school ball.

Favorite motto or philosophy of life: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn

If you could spend the weekend with anyone doing anything anywhere in the world, what would you do? I would spend the weekend with my friends on a beach in Hawaii. 

What’s something unusual or different about you that few know? I love to binge watch multiple shows on netflix. 

What’s the one thing/object, besides your phone, that you can’t live without? Music

Do you have any softball superstitions or rituals? On game days I always wear two left socks or two right socks; never a right and a left. I feel like it makes me play better. 

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Always stay humble

If you could have a super power, what would you want it to be? To be able to fly. 

Last song you listened to: Oui by Jermih or Yeah by Usher and Lil Jon
