About
I am currently 19 years old this year of 2025. I've been a student-athlete as long as I can remember. My personality is all about being quirky, passionate, hardworking, and kind! It takes a lot of determination and grit when you're the oldest child, AND the only female child in the family; but I definitely rule that territory. I love being different, and no one can stop that.
