Who are your role models: My mom and dad

Which coaches have had the most influence on you and why: My dad has been my lifelong coach. From coaching on all but one travel team I have been a part of, he has always been a great leader. He never had “dad goggles” and has always pushed me to be better. Softball is our thing and I’m thankful for that.

Who is you favorite teacher: Ms. Ferrell

Where do you see yourself in 10 years: Hopefully, married with a good job

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I’ve been on two backpacking trips: Alaska for one week and Washington for two weeks.

What will you miss most about high school sports: I’ll miss the friendships. We’ve spent four years building our team on the field and in the dugout. This year we have really focused on coming together and being tight knit since the majority of our team is seniors (there are nine of us). We’ve come a long way and I wouldn’t trade my teammates for anything.
