PERSONAL
 A Psychology major ... favorites include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cody Bellinger, Tom Cruise, Melissa McCarthy, All-American, Top Gun, Chicken Alfredo, One Direction, and Cody Johnson … chose CSUN because not only is it close to home, but it is a great environment with an amazing coaching staff, she is most excited about playing for them … says greatest sports moment so far was hitting a home run in an elimination game during a tournament during the Summer of 2021 to keep us in it - all while being the one-year anniversary of my friend Hunter’s death, it was a very special and heartwarming moment for her … says the best thing about being an athlete is every reward it brings you, from the friendships to the in-game accomplishments, being around the people and sport you love is what makes her love being an athlete … says the toughest thing about being an athlete is the demand, playing at a high level requires the upmost commitment and work ethic, learning to balance your personal life and athletics can be tough … says the best athlete she played against is Grace Lyons … the most famous person she has met is Shawn Mendes … the person in history she would like to meet is Abraham Lincoln ... would like to switch places with George Strait for one day … the two people she would like to have dinner with are Cody Johnson and George Strait … the best advice she has been given is to take it one day at a time, to not worry about the past or the future, but live in the present … her advice to young people is never give up, things can get very hard but pushing through it will reward you in the end.
