I love the community most. My teammates and coaches do more than share a game. They walk with me in faith and bring me closer to God every day. These people shape who I am as an athlete and a person. We push each other to grow on and off the field. Their support is a true blessing.
My mom inspires me most. She is my ultimate role model because she works hard every day, shows endless patience, and loves unconditionally. She exemplifies God in everything she does. Because of her grace and strength, I strive to grow into an amazing human being just like her.
My proudest moment is fully recovering from my ACL injury. Coming back from that setback required immense mental and physical resilience. I am incredibly proud of how much I have grown as a human being and how much stronger I am today. Standing on the field and performing at my best now feels deeply rewarding because I know exactly what it took to get back here.
