2024 Highlights 
2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My family is my rock. They have taught me to pursue my interests with all my heart and mind. To achieve excellence you must dream big, work hard and to go for it all whether or not you succeed or fail. Academics and softball have provided me with my lowest lows and my highest highs during my life. But all the failures and all of the victories have resulted in my competitive spirit, with a good sense of humor that strives for perfection. Softball has truly become my passion. Together college with softball can make all my dreams come true.
My name in Danica Nielsen and I am a 5'6" second baseman/pitcher/first baseman/utility player. I am graduating from high school in the year 2025. I am looking for a college that will support me academically as well as on the softball field.
I would like to major in business with an emphasis in accounting. I have always been great with numbers and I enjoy talking with people and ultimately helping individuals. Every aspect of life, even softball, has a business side associated with its growth and success. So, by understanding the underlying business side, I can make all future endeavors successful.
