At what age did you start playing your sport?
I started playing t-ball around 5 years old. While playing basketball during 4th grade.
How has balancing academics been different from your senior year until now?
Balancing academics was challenging but I was able to balance time management and structure. Homework and studying on the bus or early mornings before school.
What is your favorite part about the sport and why have you stuck with it for so long?
Softball has always had a special place in my heart. Playing softball at such a young age, I grew a great connection with not only my teammates but with my coach Abby. She coached t-ball to varsity and has made us the players we are today. She has helped my teammates and I achieve what we have dreamed of since we were little to what we have become.
Is there a professional or collegiate athlete you look up to?
I look up to Caitlin Clark because of her attitude and demeanor on the court.
What is the most challenging part of being a student-athlete?
What is the most rewarding part of being a student-athlete?
Making memories with my teammates. Celebrating a win, pushing through tough practices together, and sharing laughs from on the bus after games to the next day in school.
What has been your most memorable experience in high school sports so far?
My most memorable experience in high school sports was during sophomore year when our softball team made it to the softball sectional finals. Even though we did not make it to state, the support we received from our community was incredible and stayed with us through the rest of high school. That season sparked a shift in our mindsets. We started to believe that we could achieve anything we put our minds to. Not only just in softball but basketball as well it brought us confidence to continue to succeed.
Any hobbies outside of sports?
I love to be outside and always being active. Skiing, fishing, and shopping are some of my favorite things to-do.
