Accomplishments
One of my greatest accomplishments was getting recruited to play college softball at Minnesota State University. I was a part of Minnesota State's softball team for 4 years. Being a student-athlete I was taught time commitment, determination, leadership, and resilience. Successfully completing 4 years of both academics and athletics was extremely challenging at times, but the memories and lessons I learned along the way will stay with me for my lifetime.
