My baseball journey started at the age of 3 and has never looked back. My love of the game pushed me to pursue rep baseball where I represented Guelph Minor Baseball (GMBA) for 6 years (8U-13U) and Kitchener Minor Baseball (KMBA) Elite for 2 years (14U-15U) to my present experience with the Midwestern Ontario Bearcats. I am also an avid fan of the game and watch baseball at all levels to continue to study and learn the game.
Outside of baseball, I have played hockey, volleyball, basketball, badminton and soccer and continue to play high school volleyball in the off-season.
