What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Well, I am not too crazy so for me this is probably my craziest moment: I decided I wanted to travel to London while on a school break. My best friend & I booked a travel package at the last minute and flew to London for only two days with just a carry-on, very little money, and no plans! Needless to say, it was not our finest moment. Most of our time was spent trying to figure out how to navigate on foot while wearing the same outfit everyday!

What are your strongest talents?
My strongest talents are my communication skills and my empathy. I love speaking to groups of people and feel that I have a talent in doing so. Also, I am a very empathetic person. I am always the first one my friends turn to when they have a problem. This isn't because I always have the best advice. It's because I have the ability to put myself in their shoes and help them weather the storm.

What is the most important thing you want the judges to know about you?
I want this! I recognize that being Miss USA is a job and a responsibility, not just a glamorous title that gives you a crown. After having been a professional sales representative for almost 3 years, I feel that gives me the ability to know how to handle a job as big as Miss USA. Also, I want the judges to know that I am a confident, independent, and outgoing person who knows who she is and how to present that to others. I feel I have learned so much about myself in the years since I graduated college. I wouldn't have to spend a year in the spotlight figuring out who I am. Instead, I could be focused on doing the best job possible and being a wonderful MISS USA!
