I choose my college because I always wanted to live in a hot place, especially coming from Washington, as well as the coaches and their goals and mindsets are exactly what I desire as well!

My mom was originally born in Lima, Peru and moved to America when she was 16 years old. My dad played basketball and baseball growing up. I have a brother named Ryan (28 years old) that is a mechanical engineer. And a half sister Brianna (35 years old) and she has 2 kids

I want my legacy in softball to be know as someone that is calm and composted in all situations. Demeanor and body language as a pitcher means the world to me!

When I started to play for my first ever select team, I obviously wasn’t very good so my coach put me in left field as a tall and big 9 year old girl, and I would practice dry work pitching in the outfield because I was bored out of my mind out there all by myself. I was also told I could never be a good pitcher by that coach lol…
