I am beyond blessed and incredibly excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic journey playing Division I softball at Dartmouth College.
First, I want to thank the Big Man upstairs for guiding me, strengthening me, and opening doors I have prayed for since I was a little kid. Every step of this journey has had its ups and downs, but it has been a blessing, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunities He has placed in my life.
Next, I want to thank my parents, who have sacrificed every day and everything to help make my dreams a reality. Thank you for the long car rides, endless flights, and unwavering support that led me to this opportunity.
To my sister, who has taught me almost everything I know about this sport—you have led me, pushed me, and inspired me since I could walk. Thank you for every lesson, drill, practice, and moment you took to help me grow. I wouldn’t be where I am or who I am without you.
To my brothers, thank you for all the wiffle ball games in the backyard and for always cheering me on, pushing me, and being my biggest supporters.
I also want to thank my guidance counselors, friends, teachers, and teammates for the constant love and support throughout my softball journey.
Additionally, I want to thank all of my coaches, past and present.
Coach Frank, Coach Bob, and Coach Dave—thank you for believing in me from day one and helping get me to this point.
To Coach Shari and Coach Bill Edwards, thank you for everything you have done these past few weeks and for helping me get here through countless phone calls.
To the coaching staff at Donovan Catholic, thank you for picking me up during the hardest moments and showing me what it truly means to have coaches who believe in you.
To @dukebaxter and @stevenikorak, thank you for being part of my journey and making me great at PFPs!
To all my trainers at @thetraininggroundnj, I will forever cherish every session that pushed me, strengthened me, and allowed me to showcase my true abilities.
Lastly, thank you to Coach Williams, Coach Benz, and Coach Ash for choosing me to be a part of the Dartmouth Softball program and for welcoming me to the woods! Go Big Green 💚🖤
I am so excited for this next chapter and ready to work even harder. Go Big Green 💚🖤
