Vega graduated from Liberty in three years with a Bachelor of Science in criminal justice in May 2017 and graduated with her Masters of Business Administration from the university in August of 2018. She is a two-time member of the Big South Presidential Honor Roll and earned the AD-Commitment to Excellence Award for achieving a 4.0 GPA in 2018.
