What is one lesson you have learned from playing softball?
I have learned countless lessons from playing softball. However, the one that sticks out to me the most is that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Coach Paul has repeated this often, and it is something that has stuck with me throughout my softball career. Softball has taught me invaluable lessons on work ethic and consistency that I will always be on the forefront of my mind.

What would your teammates say about you?
While I can’t speak for my teammates, I think that they would say that I am very hardworking, compassionate, and just a great person in general. My teammates know the amount of work that I put into softball and how much I want to succeed in the game. I know that my teammates know that I will always have their back just as much as they have mine. They are my bestest and closest friends that I have and I am very grateful to have met each and every one of them.
