I am deeply passionate about competitive softball, a sport that ignites a fire within me like nothing else. The exhilarating atmosphere of the game, the camaraderie among teammates, and the shared pursuit of victory create a team culture that feels like a second family. I'm driven by an unwavering desire to excel and play at the highest levels of college softball, with the ultimate dream of playing professionally, and for Team USA in the Olympics. The dedication, hard work, and endless hours of practice I pour into honing my skills reflect my unwavering commitment to the sport I love.

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, as it allows me to explore new places and experience different cultures. Whether it's visiting a new ballpark in a new city, a beach, or a national park, I find great excitement in discovering the world!

Another pastime I love is playing video games and board games with my mom, dad, and brother. We're a competitive family by nature and we love to challenge each other with games!

Cooking is another activity that I find satisfying. Experimenting with flavors and creating delicious meals is a creative outlet for me. I take pleasure in trying out new recipes and sharing the joy of food with loved ones.

Swimming is not just a form of exercise for me; it's also a source of tranquility. The sensation of gliding through the water and the refreshing feeling it brings are incredibly rejuvenating. Whether it's swimming in the ocean, or simply enjoying a quick dip at my grandparent's pool, I find solace in the water.

Lastly, shopping is a leisurely pursuit that I appreciate. Exploring malls, boutiques, and markets allows me to discover unique items and indulge in a bit of retail therapy. It's a fun way to keep up with the latest trends or find something special for myself, friends, or family.

In addition to these hobbies, I prioritize spending quality time with my friends and family. Whether it's hanging out, watching movies, or watching a ball game, their presence provides me with a supportive and comforting environment. My little brother holds a special place in my heart, and I consider him my best friend! We bond by playing catch in our backyard, where I can pass on the valuable lessons I've learned from my coaches over the years. This time together strengthens our relationship and brings us closer as siblings.
