I love hiking, reading, working out and spending time with friends and family

Florida State University

Everything about the Florida State program made my decision unquestionable. A culture that fits my personality, beautiful facilities, exceptional academics, great location, a strong softball program, and most importantly awesome coaches! There are multiple because I believe that there are a lot of athletes with unique talents and if you could combine them you’d get the ultimate athlete.

My dad won the Dr. Pepper football challenge during halftime in the Big 12 Championship between Missouri and Oklahoma in 2008 in San Antonio. We’re also a dual nationality family, with the UK. My grandfather on my Mum’s side played Rugby back in the day for Cardiff University and then the Welsh National Team. Something I think is cool is he helped design a whole city in Libya called Al Marj which had previously collapsed due to an earthquake.

Leaving a legacy as a player who was determined, passionate, competitive, and confident would be at the top of my list. While striving to be the best version of myself, I would also love to be remembered as a selfless player and a great teammate. I hope to inspire future generations of softball players/pitchers, leaving the jersey and sport better than I found it.

When I started throwing over 50mph, more than 6 years ago, my parents decided that they no longer wanted to catch me, so, my dad built me a wall in the backyard. Over the years it has gone through so many upgrades to be where it is now. My mum and I spend hours at the wall, she catches my spins, and watches me pitching while we listen to music and chat. The wall has definitely helped me grow into the pitcher I am today.
