What are your strongest talents?
My strongest talents are my personal communication and public speaking skills. Another strong talent is my general overall athletic ability in all sports.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
I am especially proud of my past title of Miss World Eskimo-Indian Olympics 2001. It is such an honor and accomplishment to have a title that allows me to speak up for my Alaska Native heritage and show others the pride that I have in who I am and my culture. It provided me the opportunity and forum to speak to fellow Native students about the importance of learning their Native language and be a keynote speaker for Women Against Violence and Suicide Prevention, which affects many Native people. I spoke from personal experience on all of these issues, which allowed for me to connect with my audience and show them that they can also make positive changes in their lives and the lives of their families.

What is the most important thing you want the judges to know about you?
While I have already received so many blessings with my past titles and my current title as Miss Alaska USA 2008, I have definitely established myself as a leader in my community through these titles and my years of involvement as a committee member and volunteer for charitable causes. I am fortunate to have the demonstrated support of my fellow community members. I have greatly surpassed the initial goals that I have set for myself and look forward to the future in continuing to serve and assist with worthy causes.
