Michaela Carter

“First off, I want to say thank you to the Fordham community and the Athletic Department for everything that you have provided me over the past four years. I really went out on a limb coming across the country to come to school and play softball here, but I never once regretted it.”

When Michaela Carter stepped on campus four years ago, she never thought that the school and the people at Fordham — especially the people within the Athletic Department — would have such a positive impact on her life. Hailing from Duvall, Washington, and attending FCRH, she joined the women’s softball team, and her teammates and coaches have had the biggest influence on her time here. The friendships that she’s made and the family that they have built as a team is something that she will forever cherish and remember. The grind as a student-athlete has allowed Carter to grow into a more independent and disciplined individual. With the lessons she’s learned and connections that she has built, Carter has the foundation to reach any goals in her future.
