High School / Prep Career
Why she chose NC State: "When I first visited NC State, I knew that it was the school for me. I fell in love with not only the campus, but also the amazing coaching staff. I cannot wait to be a part of Coach Rychcik's growing softball program. All these aspects factored into my decision and I can honestly say I couldn't be happier to attend NC State as a student-athlete.”
