Honored to announce that I’ll be representing Team Japan again at the TCS International Challenge in Colorado this June 🇯🇵🥎
Last year was an experience I’ll never forget . The competition, the friendships, the culture, and the pride. Being able to return for a second year means so much to me.
Playing for your heritage is different. I’m playing for something bigger than myself. For family, tradition, culture, and everyone who helped shape who I am.
So grateful for this opportunity and excited to compete June 25–28 in Colorado. Let’s do it again ❤️🤍

I’m beyond excited and blessed to announce that I’ve officially committed to continue my academic and athletic career to play D1 collegiate softball at Idaho State University!
I first want to thank my parents, who have been there for every step along the way. I’m so thankful to have them by my side.
To my family, thank you for being my biggest fans and supporting me along this journey. My Amma, Ampa, Granny, Kenneth, Uncle Eric, Auntie Krissy, Auntie Kiki, Uncle Vince, Uncle Matt, Aunt Brooke, and Uncle Barry. Of course, I can’t forget my cousins!! Kayla, Alyssa, Colton, Jaxon and Emerson. They all truly mean the world to me.
A huge thank you to all the coaches and trainers who have helped me along the way. Coach Clint, Coach Elmer, Coach Eric, Coach Angel, Coach Josh, Coach Tony, Coach Darius, Coach Dee Dee, Coach Mike, Coach Colleen, Coach McKenna, Coach Shan, Coach Sarah and Coach Kindel.
Thank you Coach Rich, Coach Karlee and Coach Kelsey for this opportunity! I couldn’t be more grateful. You made my dream of playing D1 softball come true.
I would not be where I am today without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him for making my dream a reality.
To the little 7 year old girl who had dreams of this exact moment. You did it! 🥹
Jobs not finished yet!!! Let’s go Bengals!!

I remember being a little girl playing for SCGS and going to the high school softball games and dreaming of one day playing on this field. Now that I get to live that dream, I hope to be a role model for younger girls and show them to never give up, believe in themselves, and always play with heart. 🥎🤍
This one’s for the girls 🫶🏻
