"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." - Michael Jordan

Dancing, reading, journaling, going to the beach, and spending time with friends.

University of Oregon

I chose the University of Oregon because of the environment. The coaching staff and softball program are great and I feel that it is a university that will provide me with the best resources to exceed both athletically and academically.

My mom played softball for Oklahoma State and San Diego State

I want to be a player that young girls, especially black girls, can look up to and say “if she can do it, I can too”.

In 2016, my older brother (in his first year of college) was in a major car accident and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (he is permanently disabled). His inability to finish college and participate in athletics is my motivation to work hard and be successful.
