"My junior year of high school I took two official trips - one to UCLA and one to the University of Washington. Both schools offered me a full ride scholarship. I chose the school that I felt was the best fit for me which was the University of Washington. My freshman year of college I was fortunate to set a few records including the Home Run Record for UW, PAC-10 Home Run Record, PAC-10 Newcomer of the Year as well as records in RBI’s and batting average. I went on to transfer to California State University Fullerton where I set many more records and achievements including three Conference MVPs and four First-Team All-American honors. All the while competing in college I was fortunate to be able to compete for USA Softball every summer in a different country.

Throughout my softball career I had three major injuries, tearing my ACL ligament in both of my knees and separating a shoulder. Injuries have taught me patience, hard work, and made me recognize just how much I wanted to be one of the best players in the world.

I have competed at every level possible in Softball, so now it is time for me to share all of my knowledge and experience with you."
