She was a proud member of the graduating class of 2021 at Cape Central High School, where she was actively involved in JROTC, choir, and was a devoted member of Cape First Church. Her commitment to service and leadership continued as she pursued higher education at Northwest Community College in Senatobia, Mississippi.
