Personal Statement

I am a 5'6" pitcher/corner infielder from Brigham City, UT and I will graduate with the 2017 class. I have two years varsity experience in softball as a sophomore and two years of experience in volleyball. I was elected to the all section team in our area as a DH for my efforts during my freshman season of softball. During the course of my sophomore year I transferred from Show Low, AZ to Brigham, UT where I continued playing softball. I made the varsity squad in a much larger school and enjoyed playing in the new area.

I am looking for an institution where I can find the right balance between the classroom and field. I would like to pursue a university with an outstanding academic reputation in the field of nursing. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I could make an immediate impact on the team.
