where do you feel the most comfortable? where does your voice have the best effect? which part of your voice do you use when you are just fooling around and not really singing out? that's your home, vocally. That's where you belong. That has more to say about your vocal category than mere range.
Eventually, you will want to train your voice to be at home whether high or low, but you always have to work out from that center starting point.
If you answer my questions, you will have answered yours.
Best wishes and keep on singing

The classification of your voice is more than the range. It's about timbre and tone quality too.

An example: a trumpet can play G below middle C to above high C. A clarinet can play G (actually E) below middle C to above high C too. Trumpets and clarinets sound different.

In the same way, a soprano, mezzo, and alto sound different too. There are even different qualities of each range such as coloratura soprano.

With the range you report, you could sing either soprano or alto parts in a choir. With a range to E below middle C, you can also sing most Tenor I parts. The way to find out your true voice classification is to find a teacher who specializes in women's voices.

A four octave range is a nice tool to have - if you don't already have a private teacher, you should consider finding one.

You are like Christina she sings alto and saprano and she's a 4 oactave singer. But artist like Coko(swv) Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston can go up to 7 octaves. =] Hope that helps.
