Volunteer Spotlight
Where do you live? Apex
How long have you been a Miracle League volunteer? First year coaching, third year buddying (I think)
What team are you currently coaching? I have so much fun coaching The Reds on Friday nights, DJ-ing some Thursdays, and Buddying whenever! I have been a part of the PAC (Parent Advisory Committee) for a couple years.
What do you like to do when you are not coaching baseball? When I’m not at the ball field, I’m doing mom stuff. When I’m not doing mom stuff, I’m probably at a grocery store taking carts out of the corral and scattering them about in the parking lot. When I’ve freed all of the carts, I head to the library to practice my trombone. What I lack in musicality, I make up for in volume. Then I’m back home answering Amazon product questions with “I don’t know.” When all that is finished, I fold laundry.
What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? My favorite part of MLT games is everything! I love the players’ excitement and joy. I love that everyone cheers for every player on both teams. I love the coaches’ encouragement. It’s a source of joy for everyone at the field.

What is your favorite part of a Miracle League game? Why? My favorite part of the Miracle league is working with the kids, showing them how to play baseball and watching them have fun. And, all the smiling faces!!
