Softball state champion looking for her next win, plans to attend West Point.
My greatest accomplishment: Being softball state champion for Eustis High School, national champion for travel ball team, named 4A Softball Player of the Year 2021, Daily Commercial All-Area Player of the Year 2021 and 2022, South Central Florida Player of the Year 2021 and Orlando Sentinel All-Area Player of the Year 2021.
This year, I hope to: Be ranked in the top 10 in my class, and I hope to win another state championship for softball.
My future plans: I want to play Division 1 softball and serve my country at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
My greatest quality: I am selfless.
What do you want everyone to know about you? That I do everything for the glory of God.
A saying or mantra I live by: If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.
Topping my playlist: “Our Song” by Taylor Swift.
I look up to: My grandma because she is one of the most God-fearing women I know.
My message to the world: God’s got you.
When I’m starving I get: A Chick-fil-A number 1 meal with a lemonade.
If I could have a superpower, it would be: Being able to see into the future, that way I would be able to make educated decisions on what is best to help the country.
My favorite book is: “Call of the Wild” because it represents perseverance and the power of kindness.
