What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Typically, for me, crazy would be an occasional spicy dinner. However, on my eighteenth birthday, my boyfriend surprised me with a hot-air balloon ride. We enjoyed a beautiful view flying over my hometown in a wicker basket and then crash-landed into a cattle field...welcome to Arkansas!

What are your strongest talents?
I believe we are all born with talent of some type. I have been blessed with both performing talent and practical talents. I'm a good tap dancer and an excellent piecrust maker. I am a fiercely loyal friend, I always catch the most fish, and I am a pretty good shot. I am also proud of the fact I make good life choices, and I am very intelligent and kind.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
As of today, other than being MISS ARKANSAS USA, I am most proud of myself for making a great score on the PCAT exam, which is the entrance exam for pharmacy school. I studied for months and it paid off.

What is the most important thing you want the judges to know about you?
From middle school until my first year of high school, I was not happy with my appearance. My hair was big and curly, I was way too tall, and had "developed" way before anyone else. Only wanting to look like everyone else, I struggled. Then, at fourteen years old, I won my first pageant. Suddenly, standing out was the best thing that had ever happened to me. As a teen, competing in pageants helped me embrace who I was and now being Miss Arkansas USA empowers who I am.
