Who has been the biggest influence on your athletic journey? Why?
My biggest influence in my athletic journey has been my mom and dad. My dad especially because he has helped coach me for many years. He taught me to never give up and to work hard for what you want. They have always been my biggest supporters and that has shaped me into the person and athlete that I am now.
What is your pregame routine?
My pregame routine is making sure I fuel my body and get game ready with some music.
Which of your teammates pushes you to be your best?
I feel all my teammates push me to be the best I can. My outfielders push me the most because they believe in me and help me build confidence.
What's your favorite thing about being on this team so far?
My favorite thing about being on this team is the friendships I have made. We play as a team and have fun. I also love my coaches and appreciate all the time and effort they put into making us the best players we can be.
If you weren't playing your current sport, which sport would you try?
If I wasn't playing softball I would probably be running cross country or track. That is one of the sports I played in high school and did well in. Prior to PCC, I considered going to college for track.
Where would you go on your dream vacation?
My dream vacation would be either Hawaii or a cruise to Alaska.
What do you hope to do after Pitt?
My plans after Pitt are to focus on my academics and finish my degree at ECU in Communication.
