Addi is a friendly, cheerful and loyal friend and teammate with a fiercely competitive nature in all that she does. Even as a young child before sports, she was incredibly determined, never intimidated by the work to accomplish a goal. Off the field, she loves art, cooking and music and prides herself in knowing the lyrics to just about any song you can imagine. When she's not playing competitive softball or volleyball, she's speaking Portuguese to anyone who understands, now with ten years in dual language education, or simply spending time with friends and family. Her biggest inspirations are her parents. Both Cancer Survivors. She has learned that life is more than softball and how hard work, faith, and trust in others can help you in the long run.
