What is your go to song to get you in game mode?

My go to song is Preach by Young Dolph

Do you have any pregame rituals or superstitions you practiced before or during competitions?

I say a prayer before each game and thank God for allowing my teammates and myself to have a fun, be safe and to play the game the best our abilities.

What do you think is the biggest misconception about being a student athlete?

The biggest misconception is that even though we are athletes we still go through daily struggles and have mental days as well as normal students. Also being a student before the athlete part is challenging and hard to handle most of the time.

What made you want to be a pitcher?

The reason I chose to be a pitcher is that you are moving constantly, and you have full control of your opponent. The only way they can hit if you allow them to.

If you weren't playing softball, what sport would you play?
If I didn't play softball, I would play basketball.
