What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
When I was one year’s old, I nearly killed myself when I pulled on the Christmas tree my parents warned me to stay away from! They sat and laughed while my feet dangled out from under the tree…to this day I am terrified of Christmas tree’s, which is really ironic since my last name is ROUNDTREE!

The Power of communication. Whether it be through a simple conversation or singing or acting...I am able to reach people on so many levels. I have been touched by the positive feedback that I have received from the great state of NEW YORK! I will continue to use this talent to touch as many people as I can.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
Being able to overcome my father's death all while completing school and training for MISS NEW YORK USA 2008. I did not allow circumstance to hold me back.

What is the most important thing you want the judges to know about you?
I am a nut! I love to make people laugh and I am extremely personable. I think that a person is truly free when they can let their hair down and just be themselves. People expect beauty queens to be these crazy devilish creatures! I am constantly trying to break that image.
