I am BEYOND excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career playing at University of Illinois Springfield!!!

Thank you to my parents for making endless sacrifices to get me here. Everything that you’ve done and continue to do are so cherished. I truly would not be here without you guys.

Thank you to all of my coaches that have gotten me to where i am but a very special shoutout goes to Coach Shipes, Coach Madison and Coach Christian. Thank you so much to Coach Eddie for taking a shot at the girl from Florida, i would not be successful at STVA without you.

I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, without you none of this would be possible. Thank you for gifting me and letting me play this sport.

Thank you to my coaches and teammates at Steele for igniting my flame even brighter then it was before. I am so eternally grateful for all of you.

And the BIGGEST thank you to Coach Laura and Coach Dave for making all of my dreams become a reality. Thank you for such an amazing opportunity!!

GO STARS!! ✨⭐️🌟

Reflected on the season and even though it didn’t have the outcomes we wanted, the process was worth it. This group is special, 2 regionally ranked wins in our last 3 matches…special. To work the whole year through adversity and obstacles…special. Excited for the future! 🐍🏐💙
