She was last seen on the evening of April 13, 2026. Family members report she left home on the morning of April 14 to go to school, but never arrived home afterward. School officials confirmed she did not attend classes that day.

- Hair: long black hair
- Eyes: brown
- Glasses: yes

Sharing missing persons posts also makes a real difference. It increases the number of eyes on the lookout, reaches people outside the immediate area, and can surface crucial information that might otherwise never come forward. If you can share this alert, please do.
If you are in immediate contact or believe you may have seen her recently, please call right away rather than posting on social media.
