A proud graduate of Arkansas High School in Texarkana, Heidi continued her academic and athletic career at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, where she played softball under the legendary Coach Alvy Early. She is currently pursuing her Master’s degree from UAM.

Off the field, Heidi’s greatest joy is her family. She and her husband Jason, her partner of 18 years, are the proud parents of three boys—Remington, Ryder, and Ranger. In her free time, she enjoys fishing, kayaking, flea markets, family vacations, and making memories with loved ones.

Heidi is known not only for her coaching success, but also for the energy, dedication, and heart she brings to her teams, her school, and her community.
