Don't expect it: The expected final height of women is 1/2 the combined height of both parents less 2.5 inches give or take an inch. This suggests your final height from genetic factors would be about 4'10". More growth would require open growth centers in your bones but they usually close by 17. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could identify growth center status.No diet/meds/exercise/ etc. will change this.
