"Clarkson, but more specifically softball has given me the opportunity to grow as both a person, and a leader. Clarkson Softball has shown me what perseverance, dedication and hard work gives you. I have met people in this program that I will be friends with forever. I have never felt more at home than I did when I was with my teammates and coaches.

I have a few memorable moments as an athlete at Clarkson. I would say one of the best feelings was my freshman year when CUSB made the Liberty League playoffs for the first time. It was an indescribable feeling of knowing that you were part of something that accomplished so much and showed others what this program is capable of. Another memorable moment would be working with other teammates to improve on our skills. From having Rae/Coach Rae help me with my slapping, to helping other outfielders improve on their skills. Although, I think one of my most memorable times as a member of CUSB would be our last Florida trip. The season may not have ended the way we wanted, but the energy and drive the team had in Florida was a glimpse of what we were capable of this year. I wouldn't change being a Golden Knight for anything."
