So, she's proudest to say she is a Chickasaw.
"The Chickasaw Nation has always supported me in my school and career. The Nation is a very supportive tribe and they have inspired me to want to give back to the people. Being descended from such a strong people and knowing the same strength and resilience has been passed down to me, not just in how I was raised, but it's in my blood and it makes me who I am."
