Being from Santa Ana (Orange County), CA, softball was a mainstay of my
youth sports. After several years of playing Little League Baseball and
Little Miss Softball, I began playing with travel softball teams at the
age of 13. During my time playing with those teams, I had the
opportunity to be the catcher for several outstanding pitchers including
Lisa Fernandez and Lori Harrigan. Additionally I had the experience of
being teammates with other outstanding players like Kelly Inouye, Kim
(Kostyk) Sowder.
I attended Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana) and then accepted a full athletic scholarship to Creighton University (Division I) in Omaha, Nebraska. During my time at Creighton University, I participated in several softball camps teaching both hitting and position/catching.
After successfully completing my college career and receiving my BA in Psychology, I moved back to Southern California in 1996. I began teaching hitting and catching lessons at Diane Lewis’ School of Softball in 1997 until relocating to the Vacaville area with my husband in 1998. Since moving to the area I have coached two years in Bobby Sox and have been the Player Agent for the Vacaville National Little League.
