  • Chose Illinois because "I wanted more: more competition, more challenge, and a bigger stage to lead from. It's a chance to compete at the highest level, closer to home, in a program that values both athletic excellence and academic achievement. I'm not just here to be part of the team; I'm here to set the tone, push the standard, and lead from the front. Playing Division I softball in the Big Ten is an opportunity I've worked for all my life, and Illinois is where I know I'll grow—not just as an athlete, but as a person. I'm built for this level, and I'm ready to show it."
