fascinating to manipulate data or create and design within a program.

• Sharing knowledge base of fastpitch softball with young women is my passion. Each player coached is an opportunity

to share how simple things learned throughout their playing careers can be applied to everyday life; while encouraging

players to become involved with their community in someway to continue creating positive impacts in others lives.

• Researching family genealogy over the past five years with my cousins has created a strong interest in history and the

lives of our ancestors.
