Up Close & Personal
I’m a self motivated catcher, 3rd baseman and 2nd baseman who has been playing travel fastpitch for over 5 years, I am a high school sophomore working to maintain a 3.2 gpa while balancing playing high school Varsity softball. I am one of four children and have a supportive family network encouraging me. I am focused on quality work and understand the effort needed in preparation to make a significant impact. I have made lifelong friends through softball, am a supportive teammate and though competitive, understand the importance and lessons in displaying good sportsmanship.
