She had been a full time student at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Idabel Campus where she was pursing a degree in Computer Science. She had dreams of working with the FBI in forensics. Her favorite quote was "Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you" by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
