She spent her younger years in Fort Leavenworth, KS and eventually returned to Tennessee where she graduated high school from Clarksville High School.

She interned at NASA before returning to the Clarksville area.
On November 17th, 2017, she married Captain Cade M. Moody. They lived happily together, unimpeded by life. The following May she was diagnosed with cancer while she was pregnant with their son.
