She received 8 Outstanding of the Day Awards, 4 Clock trophies and earned a spot as the Electric Representative on Ohio's 4-H Engineering Team in 2004. She placed 3rd in the Electric Contest at the National 4-H Engineering, Science and Leadership Event, in West Lafayette, Indiana in September 2004.

She had a wide range of interests in her 4-H projects from microwave cooking, small pets, sewing, creative arts, interior design, to electronics. Her passion and career goal was electrical engineering.

In November 2004 tragedy struck; she was in a car wreck. This left her in a coma. After struggling to recover for 8 months, she passed away on July 22, 2005.
