Cheryl Scott’s admirable life began on the 29th of January 1985, somewhere in New Jersey. She was born into a family of three with two older brothers – Kevin and Brian and her mother, Marie Picciano Scott. The identity and her relationship with her father are currently unknown.
Not particularly born into an affluent family, Cheryl Scott was raised in Waterford, Camden County. As a young girl, she stood out, devoting her attention to a burgeoning interest in science and athletics.
When she enrolled in high school at Paul VI High School, she quickly joined the school’s track and field program where she expressed her ability as a fast runner. Devoted to sports as a whole, she also participated in soccer, although she was not as talented at the sport as she was on the tracks. As a sports enthusiast, she is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Her exploits on the racing track eventually earned her a scholarship to Brown University where she furthered her interest in science and graduated with a degree in Geological Science in 2007. Three years later, she got certified as a meteorologist at Mississippi State University.
