COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

Academic achievements: I’ve successfully been a scholar athlete every semester of college thus far.
Campus clubs or organizations: I am currently President of the Historical Society on campus.
Academic trips taken: Traveled to California in the fall semester of 2013 and also the Oneida Community in Upstate New York with my honors class.
Non-major course that I have enjoyed the most: Into to American Politics. I not only really enjoyed the professor but the content of the course was really interesting to me.
Besides softball, what I like best about college: The opportunity to meet new people and having the freedom to do what I want. It is also nice to be held accountable, because in college it is up to you, and only you, to be successful.
Besides softball, my favorite spot on campus: 1.) The library because it is where I can accomplish mostly everything and 2.) My bed because I love sleeping.

| Samantha: ready on every pitch |
Things I like to do: I enjoy reading, hanging out with friends and family.
My summer job: I work at an assistant living center for senior citizens, where I work life enrichment. This means that I help organize the activities and trips that the residents partake in. (i.e. Bingo, arts/crafts, trips to Price Chopper).
Best advice I've received: “Remember that everything good takes time” Reminds me to keep working hard no matter what and that with time will come results.
Favorite player: The Captain, Derek Jeter. He is the epitome of class and I admire his leadership, on and off the field. And also Mark Teixeira. As a first baseman I enjoy watching him play, and I often look up to him, as a player.
Favorite teams: New York Rangers and the New York Yankees.
Favorite books: Escape, Johnny Got His Gun, 1984.

| Samantha: play at the plate |
Favorite movies: I can pretty much quote all of Bridesmaids. But I also enjoy 21 Jump Street (sometimes referred to as Jump 21 by myself) and the Heat.
Favorite quotes: “You must do the things you think you cannot do.” By Eleanor Roosevelt. She is my favorite person in history, without a doubt.
Who I would love to invite to dinner: Hillary Clinton because she inspires me.
What is most important to me: My friends and family. Without the support that they give me, it would be hard to do almost anything and without them I would not be where I am today.
