University of Washington

I chose the University of Washington because of the amazing coaching staff and softball program. As well as the beautiful campus and student life. The second I stepped on campus UW felt like home. And not only do they have great athletic programs, UW will provide me with a great education!

Michael Jordan- because of his attitude and competitive nature on the court. He’s humble but also plays his best every day game, no matter the circumstances.

Grandpa- Played professional baseball for the Montreal Expos. Mom- Played D1 softball at SIUc. Dad- Played D1 baseball at SIUc. Older sister- Playing D1 softball at Eastern illinois University. Twin aunts- Played softball at SIUc. Youngest Aunt- Played D1 softball at the University of Michigan.

I want to be remembered by the way I played the game, my work ethic, hustle and attitude.

My unique family experience- growing up with all of my aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents playing at the highest levels. I’ve had the greatest opportunity to learn from the best who just happen to be my family.
