Whitney will be majoring in biology at the University of South Alabama with the intention of attending Pharmacy School following her undergraduate career.

Whitney’s twirling accomplishments include the 2016 Miss Majorette of Alabama, 2015 Miss Majorette of the South, and 2015 Miss Coastal Alabama Outstanding Teen Talent Winner.  She has won the National 2-Baton and National/World 3-Baton Championship at “America’s Youth on Parade” (AYOP) held at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
