Favorite Ballpark: Firestone Stadium (Akron, Ohio)
Favorite Softball Player: Sierra Romero (University of Michigan)
Most Influential Person In Your Athletic Career: My brother Torrey introduced me to softball when I was old enough to hold a bat and ball. He always helps me work on my game and encourages me to get better every time I hit the field. He is the perfect example of an extremely talented, yet humble, athlete who plays the game with so much passion.
Most Memorable Hit: Hitting a grand slam for my final at-bat of travel ball for my dad who just flew in from Germany.
Most Memorable Catch: Robbing a grand slam during one of the coldest games of my high school career where I dove over a collapsible fence in center field.
