Member of the Blue Devils from 2006-2011 | Infield- Outfield- Pitcher
My proudest moment came from the 12u World Series I competed in as a 12u Royal. It was the longest day of our lives, as we had lost previously and had to go undefeated on Sunday to become the champions. We battled countless games, and made it to the championship. In order to win the whole thing, we had to beat our opponents twice, as they were undefeated. I had not pitched all day, and I was put in our second game, clinching the win. It was my proudest moment because I persevered through the heat and some self-doubt to help my team win the game.

I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but moved to Iowa when I was 3.

I started playing rec league softball through school in Kindergarten, and

played until 3rd grade. I tried out for the Blue Devils in 4th grade, making

the 10 white team. I played all 5 levels, with Rod Walton as my 10 white

coach, and Skeeter, Charlie Kelsey, and Wayne Brandon coaching my

10u Royal-14u years. As well as softball, I also played volleyball in high

school. I earned many honors in high school softball, such as 1st team all

conference, metro, and division, for 4 years, and 1st team all academic.

I am continuing my education and softball career at Kirkwood Community

college, where I plan on majoring in biochemistry and hope

fully becoming a doctor one day.
