Coach Alma was born in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Although she was not born with a glove and bat in her hand, she was born into a life shaped by 2 generations of baseball icons. She began playing softball at the age of 12. Motivated by the sport, she played throughout middle school in El Paso, Texas and high school in Rio Rico, Arizona. While in high school, she discovered her ability to pitch and earned several local and state recognitions. She joined a pioneer group of women that began competitive softball in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. After winning 3 city league championships, she began playing in State and National tournaments throughout Mexico. Coach Alma earned a degree in Secondary Education from the University of Arizona, and has taught and coached volleyball, basketball, and softball at San Miguel High School and Amphi High School. Coach Alma’s love for education and the young people entrusted to her care motivated her to earn her Masters degree in Education in 2015 from St. Mary’s College in Moraga, California.
