I grew up in Prescott Valley, Arizona and graduated from Bradshaw Mountain High School. I played 2 years of D1 at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, then transferred to Northern Arizona University where I am currently completing my Bachelors of Science in Psychology. I volunteered at Coconino High School for the Junior Varsity softball team during that year in Flagstaff. I then moved on to compete for 3 seasons overseas in the German 1st Bundesliga for the Stuttgart Reds. I coached the U13 and U16 softball teams there in Stuttgart. This year we helped 5 of our players make the U13 German National Team.Â
