Cassandra grew up in West Baltimore and received her education through Baltimore City Public schools. Cassandra was affectionately known to most people as Sandra, Mama, Grandma or simply Ms. Sandra.

Sandra was known as a devoted and caring person. She started her career as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Church Home Hospital and later continued her career at Ravens Adult Day Care.
