Matilda Nelson '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Tillie Nelson and I am a 5' 10" catcher/1st baseman/utility from Lima, Ohio. The game of softball is something that I have loved playing throughout my entire life.  I am a 3 sport Varsity athlete and through playing, I have learned the importance and love the idea of team-work, skill acquisition, dedication, perseverance, how to be tough, how to struggle, fail and pick myself back up.  As an athlete, I work tirelessly to do my job, whatever is asked, own it, and make others better around me.

My goal is to become a doctor to fulfill my desire to help others and be a changing force for people. Correlatively, academics have always been a huge factor in my life. I am enrolled in college credit colleges and advanced courses while maintaining a 4.28/4.3 GPA and a 32 on my ACT.

My dedication and hard work in the classroom make me an elite student and that prowess has correlated to the field where I excel at a high level.
