At what age did you start playing softball and what got you interested in the sport?
 
Four and a half because I am a young-en, and my father enrolled me and got be interested in the
sport because he played baseball. I did gymnastics and dance and then I played in the dirt.

If it’s nice outside like to be outside as much as possible doing art and photography, hiking
around the BFEC, doing any sports activities.
 
When I don’t have softball or school work?
 
Yeah.
 
I like enjoying time with my friends.
 
 
What is on your Kenyon Bucket List?
 
Ringing the bells would be really cool. There is a way to get to the top part of the spires of Old
Kenyon and you can get inside of it. I’d like to do that. I think it would be cool to camp out on
campus, like sleep under the stars. Also, float down the river! That’s all I have for now. OH, win
a conference championship!
 
Which of these is number one?
Win a conference championship!
 
What are your plans for the future?
 
Hopefully grad school with a mix of art management and business. And to go back and live
abroad at some point.
 
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Married or starting a family, enjoying my career, and to live on some coast. I don’t know which
coast, but to live on a coast.

Shenanigans of a Malibu Barbie
