I am of Italian, German and Swedish decent. Although I grew up in the U.S. I take pride in knowing about my heritage and where my family has come from. The majority is Italian, my dads side of the family. My last name is Palazzola.

When it comes to gender I identify as a woman, my pronouns are she/her. I feel fortunate in a lot of ways to be a woman, but without getting too political/ethical there are still a lot of things woman are working towards. I hope I can be a part of the generation where women gain more equality.

I have participated in multiple athletic sports over the years but softball has been the biggest joy and the one that influenced me the most. I started playing when I was 5. I played mostly fast pitch. Into my later years I started playing slow pitch, which was a big adjustment, but just as satisfying. This is the group of people I played with this fall, and we took first place in our league!

I have a big love for nature. Whether it is up in the mountains, or out in the desert. I love connecting with nature. Being able to explore the beauty around us, get access to fresh air and reset my mind. It's the one place I feel like I can reset.

Music has also been a huge part of my life. I listen to music when I'm cleaning, getting ready, or just hanging out. Through my school years I was involved in choirs, and outside of that I tend to be singing the words to most songs. I have referred to myself as a juke box as a joke because of the capability I have to memorize song lyrics.
