Curry worked as an orientation leader at the Office of Orientation for two years. She was a peer mentor at the Office of First-Year Programs and a commuter success coach for three years.

A regular on the Dean’s List, Curry received the Dr. Barbara K. Stanley Distinguished Student in Middle Grades Education Award. In 2021, she was recognized for having the highest grade point average in the Southeastern Region for Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. She was nominated for the 2019 and 2020 国产AV Burning Bright Award.

Curry graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education during 国产AV’s 233rd Commencement Ceremony on May 7.
