Hey everyone i am Jadalyn Baker but you can call me Jada. I am currently entering my fifth and final year at Duke University. I am going into my second semester as a GLS student and I am expecting to graduate in May. I play softball and serve as a captain of the Duke softball team. Being part of this program has been one of the most defining experiences of my college career, teaching me leadership, resilience, and the value of teamwork on and off the field. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Education at Duke university. This academic background has enriched my approach to both athletics and life, giving me tools to connect with others and lead with empathy. Outside of softball and academics, I love to express my creativity through drawing, music, and watching a movie. I also like trying new food and going to cool restaurants. As I head into my final season at Duke, I’m excited to make the most of every opportunity, both in competition and in life, while continuing to grow as an athlete, leader, and person.
