Why UAM?: I chose UAM because it felt like home as soon as I walked on campus and the distinguished connection with Coach Lem. I want to be the best student-athlete I can be at the next level and I feel that UAM provides me the opportunity to grow in both areas. It also helps that it’s close to home and allows me to play the sport I love with former teammates.
Plans after Graduating: I plan on attending a Physcial Therapy school.
Hobbies Outside of Softball: Hunting, fishing, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
