I am truly blessed to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic journey playing Division 1 Softball at Western Carolina University! 💜🥎💛

First, I want to thank the Lord for guiding me and allowing me to achieve this dream. None of this would be possible without Him.

I also want to thank my amazing parents for always believing in me and putting everything on the line to support me. To my coaches—Coach Erin, Coach Jessica, Coach Logan, Coach Jack, Coach Steve, and Coach Tara—thank you for pushing me, guiding me, and helping me grow into the player and person I am today.

A special thank you as well to Coach Clift and Coach Maddie for giving me this incredible opportunity to become a Catamount.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my recruiting journey. I am so excited to start this next chapter at Western Carolina!

My team would rather be outside for practice, but we’re taking advantage of our time at Pure Performance and being intentional with every rep.

During tee work, I focused on extending through inside and outside pitches
