In January, Ms. Hockaday was crowned Ms. Elite United States Woman of Achievement 2021. Her goal is to make a positive impact on the community. A major duty during her year is working to spread the message about her platform, community service and involvement.

Her platform is “From Victim 2 Victor”, domestic violence awareness, resources, support, early identification and intervention.
