What are 5 things you appreciate about your school and/or softball program
1. Coaches. We have a good balance of intensity, respect, & love for each other.

Best part of being in College is: Independence

The part of my game that I would like to improve is: My confidence & to minimize walks
What character trait do you value most in your teammates: If you have grit & a tough mentality, you have my respect.
What is one thing you wish someone had told you before you went off to College: Just because you are on the team, doesn't mean you'll play. Your team is your family, but also your competition. You need to earn your spot early or you'll earn a spot on the bench.
What advice would you offer younger players who are seeking a softball scholarship: Work hard, & be coachable. Coachability is one of the top things college coaches look for.
Favorite Quote: "The goal isn't to live forever, it's to create something that will."
What do you miss most about being away from Home: Air Conditioning & not being able to see my family every day.
If you could spend a day with any one person (dead or alive) who would it be and why: My sister, because she is starting to mature so fast and I feel like I'm missing a lot of it. Skype doesn't always cut it when you miss someone that much!
Other than softball, some of my other hobbies and passions are: Running, yoga, reading, & cooking.
Other sports I have played are: Hockey, volleyball, cross-country
Most memorable sporting experience: Travelling to Georgia to compete in regionals.. such a different culture than Canadian. Also 2011 Nationals in Winnipeg right before I left for my first year of College. It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to all my friends but also a great experience to have my last in Winnipeg.
What is your favourite thing about your college team: The fact that we are not so much a team, but a family. I'm not sure if all college teams can say that.
