She participated on the Peru Justice Education Trip this summer. Parker is also a volunteer youth lacrosse coach.

Parker plans to pursue a double major in Spanish and Biology (pre-med) at Kent State. 

Parker will be a charter member of the Kent State University Golden Flashes Women's Lacrosse Program, as they will begin their inaugural season of NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse in the 2018-19 academic year.
