Her future plans are to continue working at the University while also applying for a doctoral program such as the online DBA program or the UL Lafayette doctoral program in educational leadership. In addition to travelling to every state in America, she hopes to one day have a large family that resides in Lafayette. As a side hobby, she wants to start an Instagram-based clothing boutique that donates a portion of its proceeds to charities such as She’s the First which benefits women’s education in third world countries.

She is the daughter of Mark and Stacey Briley of Lafayette, La.
