I also love the many opportunities I get to travel all over the country and visit places I have never gone before.3. What did you take away from working with The Program during preseason?
The Program taught me to pay attention to little things and that communication is the key to success.

Overall, I thought The Program brought the team closer and allowed us to work together as one unit.
4. How do you like to spend your free time outside of class and softball?
Outside of class and softball, I will most likely be sleeping or just relaxing. I like to listen to music and just hang out.

I used to do competitive gymnastics. I was a gymnast for about six years when I was younger.6. If you could go to dinner with a famous person, who would it be?
I would go to a pizza place with Jennifer Aniston. I think she is a very good actress, and I really like the movies and shows she's in. I also think she is a good person that would be really fun to get to know. I would go to a pizza place because I am extremely picky, but pizza is one of the few foods I do like.7. What is your greatest strength as a softball player?
My greatest strength would be my power hitting from the left side of the plate.
