  • Chose Arizona because ‘the legacy that Arizona carries was something that caught my attention right away. The amazing players and coaches that have been a part of this program still make a positive impact on the environment and the energy of the program and it’s something I knew I wanted to be part of. Seeing how much the school and the admin support the softball team was also something that was very important to me because I hadn’t experienced much of that side of softball before.”
