Personal Statement

I am 19 years old and in my Sophomore year at Wenatchee Valley College. As a Freshman, I was awarded 2nd Team DH for the NWAC East Region. I throw right, hit left, and I play first base and corner outfield. I plan to study Kinesiology and am on track to graduate with my Associate of Arts and Sciences in June 2024. I have made the Dean's list at WVC in the 4 quarters I have attended so far. My college GPA currently sits at 3.75, while I had a 3.9 GPA in high school. I graduated from Park High School in Livingston, MT in 2022, and played American Legion Baseball for the Bozeman Bucks AA. I also played travel ball for Big Sky Baseball, based out of Three Forks, MT. Other than baseball, I enjoy hunting, fishing, skiing, and hiking. I hope to find a four-year school that I can help immediately when I graduate from WVC.
