How did you get involved in your sport?
Softball is definitely in my family’s blood! My older sister Marina started out the line of softball players (4 years older than me). I was the next to try it out, and then my younger sister Melanie followed in our footsteps. We all played a lot of different sports, but we all continued and eventually all went to University for it in the United States.

Our CAN Fund #150Women mantra is being EPIC, what does EPIC mean to you?
Being EPIC means a lot to me. It can apply to many people on the field, but it makes me take a step back and question how am I EPIC off the field? I love softball, and I think I am an epic competitor, but I want to be known for more than that! I want to use my platform for good and to inspire young women, and young diabetics that I was in their shoes one day, and it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, and/or what you’ve gone through, playing at the highest level is achievable.
