“I have had the opportunity to play the game of softball, coach the game, and umpire the game. This has helped my game knowledge grow and has given me a new respect for the people around me and the roles they play. While umpiring a game, you have to be efficient and quick with making decisions. Coaching has given me the opportunity to give back to the game, while helping younger athletes find passion and fall in love with the game that I so love to play.”

Fun Fact: I am very involved in 4-H and have shown livestock at county fairs for over a decade and mentor younger exhibitors. Through my winnings, I saved enough to buy my first truck!
