Trivia
- In sixth grade, Payton glued their hands together while trying to make a plane for Wright Stuff. Unsurprisingly, Payton's partner was far better at the event than she was.
- When Payton isn't working on Science Olympiad, she's either planning for a GSA meeting, reading a book, or working at a tutoring center.
