High School / Prep Career
Why she chose NC State - “I chose NC State because of the academics provided from the Poole College of Management and the coaching staff. Coach Patrick and Coach Swift have a lot of knowledge about the game and a great hitting philosophy, so I’m excited to be challenged and grow as a player. NC State is a beautiful school and has a great vibe. I’m extremely grateful and blessed for the opportunity to finish my athletic career strong in the ACC. Go Pack!”
