I am beyond blessed and excited to announce my commitment to Georgian Court University! I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to continue my education and athletic career while pursuing my dream of playing college softball. I look forward to this next chapter, the challenges, growth, and memories that come with it, both on and off the field. None of this would be possible without God, who has guided me every step of the way, my family for their endless love and support, my friends, teammates, and coaches who have pushed me to become the player and person I am today. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey and believed in me along the way. I am so gratetul for this opportunity and cannot wait to see what the future holds. Go Lions! @gcusb @PacHS_Softball @ExtraInningSB @TCSFastpitch @ocvarsityguy @FCBrashearTbone @Firecrackersinc

Growing up, I was always D1 or nothing. But over the last year, after visiting colleges and having conversations with different programs, I’ve realized just how expensive college really is. 🙃 My goals have changed a lot over the past year. Now, I want to graduate with as little debt as possible. I want to go into education, and while I know it’s not a career that makes a ton of money, it’s where my heart is. Because of that, I don’t want to graduate with more debt than I could realistically make in four years of teaching. I also want to find a school where I can contribute, make an immediate impact, and grow both academically and athletically. D1, D2, D3, or NAIA — honestly, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. What matters is finding the right college for me, one that will help me succeed in the classroom, on the field, and financially after graduation. I’ve learned that the “best” school isn’t necessarily the school with the biggest name or the highest division. It’s the school that gives me the best opportunity to become the person and teacher I want to be. ❤️

Recruiting is a lot like dating. If you’re talking to multiple schools, you probably wouldn’t announce every conversation, every date, or every person who showed interest. You’d quietly build relationships and see where things lead. Offers are similar. Work quietly. Build relationships. Trust God’s timing. Not every opportunity is meant to become your future home. The time to make a big announcement is when you’ve found “the one” and you’re committed. Posting every offer rarely creates leverage, and sometimes it can actually turn coaches away. Focus on finding the right fit, not collecting logos. You can make plans, send emails, attend camps, and build relationships—but ultimately, God is the One directing your path. “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 ✝️🥎
