One of two infield additions among the Ducks' seven-person, star-studded newcomer class in 2013. Was tabbed #27 nationally on the 2012 ESPN.com national recruit rankings (and sixth overall among middle infielders). On that same list, was one of four Ducks in the top 63 overall nationally with catcher Janelle Lindvall (#9), pitcher Cheridan Hawkins (#29) and utility player Koral Costa (#63).

PREP: The four-year letterwinner at second base was an All-State pick in 2011 and an All-League choice in 2010, ’11 and '12. As a junior, she paced the team in hitting .522 (47H, 5 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR), and swiped 23 stolen bases. Likewise, as a sophomore she topped the squad in batting (.476-40H, 6 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR) and stolen bases (16). Her squad has won Southern Section and Southwestern League titles. Her So Cal Athletics club team won the 2011 18U Premier Girls Fastpitch tournament, and the 2010 ESPN Rise National Tournament. Earlier in her club career, her Victory USA club was the 2009 14U ASA National Champion, ’08 National Runner-up, and '07 12U ASA National Champions.

PERSONAL: Undeclared major. Parents are David and Jill, and has one younger sister, Mo.
