PERSONAL
Daughter of Saul and Angelica Ortiz … favorites include the University of Arizona Softball team, Jennie Finch, Kevin Hart, Jennifer Lopez, The Vampire Diaries, The Little Mermaid, Mexican Food, Grupo Firme, Drake, and Youtube.com … chose CSUN because she believes in the program and the coaching staff, and she believes she will grow as a player at CSUN in its very welcoming environment … says greatest sports moment so far is playing in the 2023 Arizona State Championship … says the best thing about being an athlete is the number of relationships she has made and the places she has gotten to visit through the sports she plays, also learning so much about myself and how mentally strong she can be in overwhelming situations … says the toughest thing about being an athlete is learning to balance school and softball … says the best athlete she has played against is Oklahoma commit Gabby Hernandez … the most famous person she has met is Jennie Finch … the person in history she would like to meet is Martin Luther King, Jr. ... would like to switch places for one day with Kylie Jenner … her greatest hero is her father, because he has come almost nothing to build a beautiful family and being able to give his kids the opportunities he never got.
