Born and raised in Orange County, California, playing sports and attending sporting events has been a staple in my life since I was a kid. From soccer to track & field, I always wanted to play and be a part of a team. At age 9, I started playing softball and fell in love with the sport. I received a scholarship and attended Tallahassee Community College where I played softball and earned my Associate’s Degree. After, realizing my passion for sports, I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from Ashford University. My dream is to one day become an empowering sports broadcaster for the NBA or NFL, and grace the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.
