WOONSOCKET – For Jade Shaver, a Woonsocket resident and soon-to-be owner of her own bakery and cake shop, high school was a turbulent time.
By the time she graduated from Beacon Charter High School for the Arts in 2012, she’d given birth to her first child and had another one on the way. The now-mother of four acknowledged she had a rambunctious personality, and said she’s always been known to do things her own way.
