Born in Seaside, California, Sergeant Price arrived in Syracuse in December 2011, from Conroe, Texas, due to a promotion.

In 2013, during the Wheel of Fortune Military Week, Sergeant Price was second place winner, allowing her to tell her story on the show.

Sergeant Price is a staunch advocate for veterans and her community. She has selflessly given her time and talents to the Syracuse area through her volunteer work with organizations that include If We Eat They Eat, serving meals and clothing items to those without homes. She recently was a guest volunteer judge for the Miss Syracuse Pageant. Sergeant Price has also been an avid member with the Gospel Music Workshops of America for over 10 years and conducts citywide music workshops at local churches and organizations upon request.

Sergeant Price is proud of her service and has a message to her soldiers, family and friends, “Each one, reach one, you are the voice of the voiceless sometimes, and aspire to inspire before you expire."

Sergeant Price is a proud mother of two daughters and a blessed grandmother of six.
