UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY RECRUIT
In 2020 she committed to the University of Kentucky for the 2021/22 academic year, where she will play softball. She said her versatility on the field was what motivated the university's interest in her. "I work every single day, so one day I'll focus on pitching and the other days I'll lift, hit and field. It's all about time management and being able to figure out when I'm doing everything, how long I'm doing it for and making sure I'm evenly practising everything." (ukathletics.com, 05 Jul 2021)
