I am a catcher/pitcher from Rio Rancho, New Mexico and will graduate in the 2021 class. I am able to play many other positions on the field. My coaches have labeled me their utility player. I have a 4.0 GPA. I have been on the Presidents Honor Roll for the last 5 years.  I have been in the National Junior Honor Society and also awarded the Rotary Club Award. I also volunteer at our local sports center helping younger kids and at our local food bank. After watching my mom over come a rare and aggressive cancer, and seeing all that she went through, I want to strive to be not only the best person, but also the best teammate/baseball player I can be!

I have been selected for round two selections for Team USA, and will be competing for another selection at the end of June, 2019.I make a habit of working on my skills other than practice. It is my dream to play baseball in college. I hope to play at the highest level possible while making a positive impact on my team. I am interested in the field of engineering. I am looking for a college with a strong reputation in academics and athletics. I am open to different regions, divisions, and types of schools.
