I love softball and I love to compete and win. My athletic goal is to earn a spot on a college softball team at a great school. I am always looking for the best competition I can find, which is why I joined the Georgia Impact Premier and the Stratford Brakettes. Besides that, I want to learn, have fun and keep getting better. Thank you.
