"Nola is a varsity caliber middle infielder who plays well above her size. She's the complete package." -2018 UA Softball Factory Invitational Spring Training Evaluator, Vero Beach, Fl

I'm worth the follow! On account of my being a "late bloomer" and being born in late December, I'm temporarily on the smaller side. I promise- I am GROWING! I've grown 5 inches in the last year and there's no end in sight. My cleats went from a youth 2 last year (yes, true story!) to a women's 7 this season and I gained 15 pounds the past 7/8 months. I take after my dad in build and he is over 6 feet tall... I'm definitely going to grow. I decided to add this to my profile because I know coaches that haven't met me won't know just from the profile info. I also have a verified 2.83 sec home to 1B time! I'm SPEEDY!

Ask any of my coaching references and they will tell you that size has never been an issue. In fall of 2017, I earned a coveted roster spot as an underager for the Canada Futures travel team where I played 11 games in 7 days against high level JUCO teams in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I was 13 years old, 85 lbs, 4"8 inches tall and I held my own on those college fields even receiving verbal interest post game in Florida. I have solid MENTALSTRENGTH and ball SMARTS.

I have a strong COMPETITIVE instinct that serves me very well in sports and in life. I'm most competitive with myself- I set athletic goals and challenges every week and work toward them with the tools I've learned from my sport psychologist. I currently play for three softball teams (one club, one travel and one high school) and I was recently named to a high level zone team for the BC Games in Canada. I am HARDWORKING and serious about developing myself as a high performance athlete. I have been very fortunate to train for years with high level coaches who use phrases like "highly coachable, focused, disciplined, dynamic, dedicated, thinks the game well and talented" to describe me and I feel proud that they can see these traits reflected in my performance on and off the field. I'm committed to high performance in both softball and academics (current GPA 3.83).

I volunteer as a Batgirl for the Canada Cup and as a slap hitting coach for a 14U team here in Canada and train/compete year round in track and field and cross country at the varsity level wherever it can fit into my softball schedule.

I would love to hear any feedback you may have for me- thank you so much for your interest.
