Why Wisconsin?
"Wisconsin was the perfect choice for me. I was looking for a big four year university, and I wanted to get out of Iowa. I fell in love with the campus on my first visit, and I know it is a school that will challenge me academically. I can't wait to be apart of the atmosphere and tradition in Madison!"

Most memorable softball achievement or favorite softball moment: Playing in the national championship in Huntington Beach this summer with my club team. It was a fun week of softball and I loved the intensity of the games at the tournament.
If I could change one softball rule, it would be…: Everyone has to throw underhand like the pitcher lol
