Why Wisconsin?
" The minute I stepped foot on the campus I knew I would be applying because I was in love. Wisconsin has so much to offer to their students through its hundreds of majors, which is helpful for someone like me who is not sure what I want to do yet. As for the fan base that Wisconsin has, it is like no other, which means it's something special to be able to call yourself a Badger."
My favorite thing about Wisconsin Softball is: The fact that it's not just about the softball. It's about family and learning and growing as a person and a player all at the same time.A non-athletic talent I have is: I'm really good at math (:
One thing I absolutely have to do before I turn 40: Travel to Greece with my best friends.
Favorite quote: Throw hard or don't throw at all.
Most memorable softball achievement or favorite softball moment: Winning supersectionals my senior year, and making school history by making it to state.
