She had a beautiful singing voice and qualified for show choir in high school. She was a flag girl and performed in the band at ballgames in high school. Her photograph was put on the wall of the town photographers shop, as she was a beautiful girl inside and out.

She suffered a rape at a college party and conceived her daughter Sabrina.
Seven years later she married Levi Knapp. She had Jordan her son two years later. Levi abandoned her and the children in 2011 after she was diagnosed with macular degeneration!
