Favorite part of pageants: I enjoy meeting and getting to know new ladies who are competing with me!
Best advice: The best advice I have ever been given would have to be never give up! I know this might sound cheesy, but 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. One thing that keeps me going would have to be pageants! If I would have given up, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I’m glad I was able to push through the struggles life has thrown my way.
