Personal Statement

Throughout my collegiate career I aspire to succeed in academics and softball. I love to learn, and areas that interest me are Social Justice, Psychology, and Business. Performing on the field and in the classroom will always be something I greatly value. While on the field, I am a good teammate and coachable. I play to have fun and to win! I will always strive to be prepared by studying the game and keeping my body and mind healthy and strong. I love to work and play year round!
