About
I began my collegiate journey at Guilford College in August of 2024 studying Biology on the path to becoming a veterinarian, but medical issues caused me to move back home. Not wanting to wait I have begun classes at Durham Technical Community College.
I graduated as a North Carolina Academic Scholar and the Valedictorian of the June Class of 2024 from Ignite Online Academy in Durham, NC. I also served as the representative from Ignite to the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council. As a very active Girl Scout, I served on the Media Girlz team and also earned my Gold Award. I actively volunteer with area animal shelters and environmental organizations.
