1. How do your personal / unique qualities best fit the International Pageant System?

I am a dedicated mother and wife.  I enjoy public speaking and have had many years of training through high school and college.  I represent children that are deprived, abused, and neglected.  I want to encourage others to take the opportunity to make a difference in these children’s lives.

2. What is something that few people know about you?

When I graduated high school one year early at 16, I wanted to move to California to pursue a degree in Marine Biology.  Since I was so young, I stayed in Ardmore to go to a local college and later decided to pursue a degree in the legal field.

3. What do you do to stay healthy?

I must give credit to my four children for staying in shape.  My children are 2, 5, 8, and 11.  They keep my very busy at all times.  Also, I think it is very important for a family to have a well-balanced “home-cooked” meal together.

4. Everyone talks about “Family Values”. What are they?

I believe family values are teamwork, love, open communication, and compassion.  I believe families must work together as a team and incorporate each of these values.

5. What is your worst habit? Why?

Too often I am a perfectionist.  I have to take a step back and realize that not everything can be perfect.  Even though I can’t be perfect, I still strive to do it to the best of my ability.
