I am Paityn Engemann, and I am a junior pitcher for the Missouri State softball teams. Growing up in the small town of Troy, Kansas taught me the value of hard work, community, and dreaming big. I’ve always been surrounded by incredible support, and now I hope to inspire the next generation of young girls to chase their goals—on and off the field. As a Division I softball pitcher, I’m passionate about leadership, empowerment, and helping others fall in love with the game that shaped me. Off the field, I love spending time with family and friends, exploring local shops, and finding new coffee spots. I am majoring in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry and Child & Family Development. I plan to attend dental school and specialize in pediatrics, with the goal of opening my own practice one day.
