In Spring of 2022 Autumn received her Master’s of Social Work from the University of Louisville.

Autumn has been an avid volunteer at organizations supporting both older adults and children including at Meals-on-Wheels and the Oregon Veteran’s Home in her prior home town of The Dalles, OR, as well as volunteering with children’s ministries at her church and sitting on the board of the Blocker YMCA in Norfolk.
Autumn and her husband, Tyas, are transplants to the Hampton Roads area, having come to the region in the summer of 2020. They have four young children, Everett, Iris, Juniper, and Elias. The family can be seen attending the many extracurricular activities of their children, going to local parks, and taking their dog, Abby, on walks around their neighborhood.
