I’m a former Division I left-handed pitcher who played at National Park College (2021–2022), the University of Central Arkansas (2023–2024), and Henderson State (2025). I was a back-to-back Region 2 Pitcher of the Week in 2022 and ASUN Pitcher of the Week in 2023, and I earned wins as a starter against #10 Vanderbilt and #20 Mississippi State. I work on helping pitchers reach their full potential.
