I started playing softball when I was 8 years old.
What is your favorite softball memory?
My favorite softball memory was beating the #1-ranked team in extra innings at nationals in California last year with my club team (Texas Blaze United).
Why did you choose KU?
I chose KU because I fell in love with the campus as soon as I got there; it felt like home. My teammates created an amazing environment when I came on my visit and made me feel welcome.
