Sport: Collegiate Baseball

As an athlete who began playing football and baseball at the age of 3, sports have been a major part of my life. I have always been a big bruiser style athlete but Coach John helped me focus on the speed and agility aspect of my game. I was able to attend the University of Indianapolis on a football scholarship to play football and received scout team player of the year, my redshirt freshman season. 

After that year, our head coach retired and the new coach essentially sabotaged my playing time and ability to succeed on the field. I decided to focus on my studies and received my Bachelor's Degree in Excercise Science and minor in Gerontology. 

I recently got the opportunity to get back into baseball at Rockford University and finished my first collegiate season batting 400 with only 4 strikeouts. I plan on finishing my Masters Degree in Healthcare Administration by May of 2025.
