She began playing softball at age seven. She went on to captain her high school team for three years at Casa Roble High School in Orangevale, CA, United States of America, and was named to the 2013 USA Softball junior women's national team while still in high school. (wilson.com, 01 Jan 2020)

She was inspired by watching the US team at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. "I never really had a specific player or anything, but I remember standing in front of my TV pretending to be them and looking up to them. I think that's where the dream started, having those players to look up to. Females in sports don't always have someone to look up to. But I think that moment was inspiring for me. Like, 'Okay. I can maybe go to the Olympics'." (teamusa.org, 01 Dec 2019; king5.com, 05 Feb 2020; wilson.com, 01 Jan 2020)

OLYMPIC INSPIRATION
After being inspired by watching the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games on television when she was younger, she hopes that the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo can do the same for others. "For it [softball] to be in the Olympics is huge for the growth of our sport and will hopefully show the world how great this game truly is. It also gives young girls the opportunity to dream of getting to compete in the Olympics one day too." (wilson.com, 01 Jan 2020)
