Joshua 1:9- Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Oklahoma

I chose the University of Oklahoma because they not only have one of the best softball programs in the country they are also family oriented. The softball staff makes you feel as if your one of them and I love the morals they stand for. The coaches are amazing.

I try to model my game after Shay Knighten because she plays with confidence and is always ready to make big time play in big time moments.

A fun fact about my family is that we are all athletic in our own ways. For example my little sister has no coordination to play softball, basketball, or even dance but she is the only one in the house who can do gymnastic types flips.

I want to be known as one of the greatest utility players to play the game that can be moved to any position and still thrive. I also want to show young black girls that they can do anything they set their mind to.

I remember when I was little I never thought I could be good at softball and go to a big time school to play. It’s amazing how far I’ve come and all I’ve accomplished to get to where I am. I still have so much more to come and I can’t wait.
