My Story
I’m a proud Midwestern native, born in Indiana and raised in a small town in Ohio where community runs deep and hard work isn't optional - It's expected. I picked up my first softball at a young age, and something just clicked. I fell in love with the game instantly. It wasn't just a sport - it was where I felt most alive, most confident, and most myself.
I started pitching at 8 years old, and that mound quickly became my second home. I played travel ball for 9 years and dedicated 16 years to becoming the best pitcher I could be. Every long weekend at the ballpark, every early morning practice, and every tough loss taught me more than just the game — it taught me grit, discipline, and leadership.
In high school, I was a four-year varsity letter winner. I earned All-Conference honors all four years, along with three years of All-District recognition, and capped off my career with two years of All-Region and both Second and First Team All-State honors. I was fortunate to have teammates, coaches, and more importantly, a family who pushed me to grow, and I gave everything I had in return.
My passion took me to the collegiate level, continuing my journey at Indiana University South Bend, where I was a four-year starter on the mound and earned several more accolades throughout my college career. I graduated In May 2021 with a degree in Health Promotion and Nutrition - a field that reflects my passion for wellness, development and helping others reach their full potential.
After college, I moved to North Carolina in August 2021 - excited and eager for my next chapter, but unsure of who I was without softball. Like many former athletes, I struggled with identity. I missed the structure, the team, the grind - all the things that made me feel whole. For a while, I thought that chapter of my life was closed.
But in September 2024, softball found me again — and this time, in a new way, bringing more purpose with it. I realized my story with the game wasn’t over — it was evolving. That’s when 419 Fastpitch was born.
419 Fastpitch isn’t just a training program — it’s a reflection of everything the game gave me. It’s built on attitude, energy, and effort, the three values that carried me through every high and low of my career. Now, I’m here to pass that on — to coach, mentor, and inspire young athletes to believe in themselves, work relentlessly, and compete with heart.
My goal is to create more than just better players — I want to build better people. Through focused instruction, mental development, and a strong sense of community, 419 Fastpitch is a space where athletes can grow with confidence and learn to lead both on and off the field.
This is my story — and it’s just getting started.
