Born overseas in Sicily during her father's military deployment, Hailey brings a unique perspective shaped by both global beginnings and deep local roots. A resident of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for more than 25 years, Hailey graduated from Pequea Valley High School in 2015 before pursuing her passion for the arts through a two-year ceramic arts apprenticeship under renowned artist Deborah Randolph.

Her artistic talent earned acceptance to both Arcadia University and Alfred University, two highly respected institutions known for their art programs. Choosing a different path, she entered the workforce while continuing her education in Early Childhood Development at Millersville University, blending creativity with a commitment to nurturing and educating future generations.

Today, she lives in New Providence, Pennsylvania, with her fiancé and their three cats, continuing to draw inspiration from art, education, community, and lifelong learning.
