Oakley aspires to attend college and is making positive choices as she works on creating a new version of herself. She loves reading, shopping, and spending time with people she cares about, considering herself an artsy person. Having come from a background of significant domestic violence, she has faced challenges with anger and depression. To cope with these issues, Oakley finds solace in music and books. Additionally, she has a passion for fashion and wants to keep up with the latest trends to fit in.

Oakley is embracing a new image and aims to achieve a sophisticated look for her special day.
