Following my four-year career at UC San Diego, with a two-year gap in between, I was given the opportunity to try out for the Israeli Women's National Team and later selected in January of 2022.

My Jewish heritage and playing the game of softball are two key pieces of my identity in which wearing Israel across my chest has been a dream come true. When the Hatikvah plays during lineups, with my teammates by my side, it gives me goosebumps and reminds me of the big picture and why I put in some much time and effort into what I do on the field, in the gym, etc.

I represented Team Israel alongside other Israeli and American Jewish athletes in the 2022 Maccabiah Games where we took home the gold medal for the first time in history. We also finished top six at the 2022 European Championship among some of the best teams in the world. We placed 5th at the prestigious Canada Cup in 2023 and recently matched that showing at the same tournament in July of 2024.

This fall we are back for more as we gear up for the 2024 European Championship held in Utrecht, Netherlands and are looking for generous contributions to help towards travel expenses, hotels, meals, equipment and more! Currently ranked 18th in the world, Team Israel and I will look to climb the WBSC rankings and make some noise!

Your donations will also help advance the Jewish National Fund's support for Team Israel as we build the foundation to pursue a shot at the 2028 LA Olympics. Thank you in advance!
