Moody was born with cerebral palsy, which has caused her to know what it’s like to struggle in a world not built for her, she said.

“I just always felt like I had a duty to show kids that even if you weren’t typically developing as any other student in the building, it doesn’t mean that limitation has to stop you from achieving any goal that you want, whether it be living an independent life or having a job,” she said. “I just wanted to be that kind of role model who could show them that yes, life isn’t always easy and yes, you’re dealt a card that might not be easy to deal with, but that doesn’t have to define who you are.”
