She attends the Dubai American Academy and is in her second year participating at DLL. She is an avid reader who loves animals and drawing. When possible she really enjoys fishing and water sports, but can easily get lost in the world of Minecraft. This week during her double header Baila was outstanding at first base, reeling in throws and ground balls. From the plate her bat was sending line drives to the fence and she displayed aggressive base running skills that lead the Gators to a come from behind win against the Ducks.
