Peyton was a bright light, full of life and dreams. Her unexpected passing left a void in our hearts in the Career Center as we had all shared special moments with her during our time together. Peyton was such a sweet person. She was very friendly, helpful and kind to all that she encountered. She was a great student employee and a joy to have as part of our team. There was so much care in her work as a career ambassador, and she desired to help each person that she came across, even working overtime to ensure that they accomplished their goals.
Peyton would share memories from studying abroad in London, her fashion inspirations, her love for her family and her hopes of one day making a significant impact in the world of fashion. She also shared her excitement about her plans after graduation in the spring. Peyton hoped to receive a full-time offer from TikTok after interning there this summer, where she believed she could blend her interest in fashion with social media, technology and creativity. Peyton’s ambition was equally matched with her dedication to serving those around her. Her radiant smile, calm disposition and inspirational outlook on life have left the Career Center a little dimmer in her absence. There is no doubt that she would have achieved all of the goals she set for herself. Our time with Peyton was an absolute blessing.
As we remember Peyton, we will remember she was a student with a heart full of ambition and a spirit full of life, ready to conquer the world. We truly enjoyed getting to spend time with her. We will miss her dearly yet will always remember the funny banter, jokes and meaningful conversations that we shared. We take comfort in knowing that, even though her journey was cut short, her memory will continue to inspire us.
