She begun her first semester studies pursuing her Doctorate in Healthcare Administration when the pandemic halted her studies. She has always had a passion for gardening and farming and started to farm in her backyard in 2019. After conducting research of her family tree, she learned through US Census documents that she comes from a long line of farmers, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. With the uncertainty of the global pandemic, she decided to purchase approximately 25 acres of land in Oklahoma and thus she moved her efforts toward building a farm.
