Hadley was born and raised in Queen Creek, Arizona where she grew to have a passion for agriculture and teaching the next generation. Stumbling across New Mexico State University her junior year of high school, she made the leap and moved 360 miles away to live in the Land of Enchantment in August 2020.

When not spending time at the bottom of the horseshoe, she enjoys being with her friends and playing with her dog, Bruiser.
