ABOUT ME
For 4 years, I pursued a Dual-Degree in Accounting and Marketing, while playing collegiate softball at Auburn University.
To further my knowledge, I enrolled in Auburn University's MBA Program, in-which I graduated December 2018. During my MBA program, I was required to get a summer internship. I was drafted by the Beijing Shougang Eagles to play in the National Pro Fastpitch League (NPF) during my spring semester. Auburn's MBA program allowed me to pursue my dream of playing professionally as my internship.
Following my internship, I had the opportunity to pursue playing and coaching as a full-time job, with the Chinese National Softball Team. I was hired to aid in preparation of the 2020 Olympics. We unfortunately fell short and did not qualify for the 2020 Olympics.
Because of my love for travel and knowledge, the current convenience of close friends in China, and the rapid growth of China's economy, I have decided to enroll in a Chinese Language Program in Guangzhou at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.
Purpose of this website
I am not the best at keeping in touch with friends and family, especially not on a regular basis. While living in the present is good to an extent, it is my kryptonite, and results in losses of relationships. To combat this kryptonite, I have decided to start this website, and regularly update it, to provide relevant information to my friends and family, as well as anyone else who wants to follow my journeys.
