I am the 16 year-old daughter of Carey White of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and Andrea B. Ivey of Lumberton, North Carolina. My paternal grandparents are Dean and Patti White of Bladenboro, and my maternal grandparents are John and Brenda Blackmon of Bladenboro. I attend West Bladen High School as a Junior. I’m currently a member of the Beta, Spanish, Shag, Varsity and HOSA Clubs. I play Varsity Volleyball, which happens to be my favorite sport. I truly enjoy every minute of every game. The two most comfortable places for me is on a volleyball court or on a stage singing. I don’t claim to be a “great” singer—I just enjoy singing! I sing specials at my church on a monthly basis.
