Bio
I’ve played for the junior national youth team since I was 14. Played in three European championships, little league world series and WBSC World Cup. The last three years I’ve been part of the TalentTeamNL program, that teaches us independence, by being away from home and a stimulating lot of self dedication. I’m a strong, dedicated player, I play the game with passion and I deliver academically. With a lot of eagerness to learn, I’m hoping to find a great college spot to develop as an athlete and academically to accomplish my dream to be a professional international softball player.
