Through high school and college she earned 2-time player of the year, 3-time All-state and All-Met, Under Armor Athlete recognition, and Academic All-American accolades.
Stormy continued her softball career at the illustrious Morgan State University, where she played both outfield and first base. Her experiences as a student-athlete strengthened her passion for sports and inspired her commitment to empowering youth through athletics.
Stormy pursued her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. She relocated to Virginia Beach in 2022, where she has gained experience treating patients in orthopedics, chronic pain management, injury prevention, sports rehabilitation, and the care of medically complex and critically ill patients.
