WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE BVU?

I chose BVU because of the culture here - it felt very welcoming and I love the campus. I also love the small community feeling in Storm Lake.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR SPORT?

I like that softball pushes you to your limits by testing you all the time because you aren't always going to get an our or your not going to always hit the ball. I also like that you have to work with others because it isn't just one person that makes the team, it is everyone that makes the team.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE AS A BVU STUDENT-ATHLETE?

I want to get better as a player and learn as much as I can from the coaches.

WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO MEAL FROM THE SERVE?

Chicken quesadillas

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ATHLETICS MOMENT?

There’s so many great memories, but if I have to choose one it would have to be when we played Simpson. We were down in the game, I got up to bat and hit a home run! All I can remember is how proud my team was and how pumped the dugout was.
