Specialties: Slapping/Hitting/Outfield
I grew up taking both hitting/slapping and fielding lessons from Tiffany Worthy-Deering and Nicole Sappingfield at Premier Softball. I have so many amazing memories here and am so grateful to have learned from some of the best.
I played travel ball with Finesse Fastpitch and went to Lake Orion High School. I was a four-time all-state selection at Lake Orion. Here I had a career batting average of .587 which ranks ninth all time in Michigan High school softball history. I was a Detroit Free Press player of the year finalist as well as a Miss Softball finalist and the Lake Orion Female Athlete of the year my senior year in 2019.
I started my collegiate career off at Binghamton University in upstate NY for two years, and I then transferred back home to finish out my education and playing career at Central Michigan University. I am now a Kindergarten teacher and absolutely love helping kids learn and grow.
Coaching and playing softball has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I put a focus on creating an environment where athletes are able to find their love for the game as well as themselves. I love being a part of their journey in gaining confidence in the sport while learning, developing, and growing both on and off the field.
In my free time I love to spend time with my friends and family as well as read, hike, hammock and play with my dog!
