She attended Darlington school until the age of 10 when her grandmother passed. She then moved to Oklahoma City with her mother. From there her life was a whirlwind of homes and schools that included Taft Middle School, Coopee Middle School, Jackson Middle School and a final trip back to Darlington where she graduated co salutatorian even though she fell from a cliff and landed in poison oak that took her out of school for two weeks and she only stated back at Darlington that year in February.
