Washington High School, participated in the International Baccalaureate Program, and graduated in 2014.  Immediately following this, she enrolled in Oklahoma State University for 2 years but transferred in 2016 to Oral Roberts University studying Drama Television and Film.  In 2019, she graduated from Oral Roberts University with a degree in Drama, Television and Film accompanied with Cum Laude honors. 

            During her time at ORU, her focus was acting on stage and camera.  Playing roles in plays such as Our Town and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead.  She wrote a short film screenplay called “PURSUIT” which was produced and shown in a local Tulsa theatre in 2021.
