What I love the most is being a multi-sport athlete and being able to learn how to work as a team, and learning how to not get down on myself and to push through it. I've developed traits that make me coachable and how to be coachable. I love the bonds I have made throughout the years. I love competition and competing against great talent, as I always give it my all in every sport I play. I have always been told, 'Hustle and heart sets us apart,' and I will always go by that.
God, my dad, my sister Angel, and my family inspire me. God gives me the strength, health, and ability to do all that I do. My dad inspires me because he always pushes me to be my best, even when it gets hard he never gives up and prioritizes my education. My sister, a collegiate athlete, inspires me she is self driven and works hard to achieve her goals. My family also inspires me by always supporting and cheering me on during all my games.
My proudest athletic moment was when I met Coach Kellie Trinidad. It all started when I began practicing with her. I wasn’t where I am now. She helped me develop in many ways, as a softball player and as a person. She helped me gain confidence in myself, both on and off the field. Due to her, I tend to get noticed during tournaments and even outside of softball. I have received compliments from other coaches, parents, and umpires/referees.
