My Story

I started playing softball at the age of 6 and quickly fell in love with the game. With an older sister who played, I’ve been around softball since I was born. Watching her catch inspired me to become a pitcher, and from that moment on, I trained with my dad until I was 14-15, when I began working with Holly Currie Murdock.

Throughout my high school career, I played varsity from 8th through 12th grade and won two state championships, one as an 8th grader and the other as a senior, with the support of incredible teammates and coaches. I earned a scholarship to Samford University, where I was a three-year starter. My time there taught me lessons that shaped my coaching philosophy and character. After transferring to Southern Illinois, I helped my team earn a regular season title and came just short in the championship game.

One of my biggest passions is advocating for student-athlete mental health, prioritizing the development of young athletes, and preventing overuse injuries in athletes. Throughout my career, I've been diagnosed multiple times with overuse injuries; for example, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

I learned many things that I want to share with these young athletes. If your daughter is wanting to play D1 softball but doesn't know what it takes to be one, I can give insight. My goal is to help grow the Huntsville area and share the knowledge that I've gained through human development and first-hand D1 experiences and apply it to the pitching side.

I'm excited to be back home, ready to grow the game and help young pitchers develop both on and off the field while chasing their goals.
