Getting started: When I was younger, my sister played so I was always at the field. I started at age 4 and played with my sister for one season, then didn’t play with her again until my freshman year when she was a senior. 

Greatest sports achievement: Receiving a scholarship from Boston College to further continue my education and athletic career. 

My go-to restaurant: Texas Roadhouse! I get the 6 oz. sirloin with a side salad and baked potato, and don’t forget the rolls!

Future goals: I want to graduate in the top 10 of my class for GPA. I plan on attending Boston College to continue my education and softball career. After that I plan on going into the medical field. 

Pre-game ritual: Before every game, either travel ball or high school ball, I lead my team in prayer. 

For fun: I enjoy going to the beach and spending time there relaxing or by any body of water. 

Topping my playlist: Bells & Whistles by Megan Moroney is a must play every time I get in the car. 

Biggest inspiration: I have always looked up to my sister ever since I was little and she will always be my biggest inspiration. 

My legacy: Show up for your team no matter the circumstances and they will always reciprocate it.

Fun fact: I started my career playing baseball for my first season for my local recreation league. I played first base and was scared of the ball, so my parents got me shin guards to wear under my socks and a wrist guard so I wouldn’t be scared anymore.
