Personal/Fun Fact: have been playing softball since the age of 8. My parents and incredible sister are my favorite fans, but without the guidance and constant support of my all time favorite coach, that I can also proudly call my "Dad," I could not have achieved all that I have. For that reason and for the love of the game, Softball is #1 in my life.
