1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
One of the funniest memories from my childhood involves dressing up my three dogs—a husky as a princess, another in a cowboy hat, and the Great Pyrenees as an athlete. My mom stumbled upon the scene, and her expression was priceless! The sheer absurdity of the situation, combined with her bewildered face, still makes me burst into laughter whenever I recall that moment. It's a cherished memory that never fails to make me smile.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
The one piece of clothing I wish I owned would be the Miss Teen International sash. It embodies not just a title, but a journey of self-discovery, perseverance, and achievement. Wearing it would symbolize my dedication to personal growth, empowerment, and the opportunity to inspire others. It represents a momentous milestone in my life, reminding me of the strength and courage it took to pursue my dreams on the International stage.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Autumn is my favorite. The crisp air, vibrant foliage, and cozy atmosphere evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. It's a time for pumpkin spice everything, long walks amidst falling leaves, and the anticipation of holidays ahead. Autumn's blend of beauty and comfort creates a unique charm that's hard to resist.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
"Max" holds a special place in my heart as it eloquently depicts the profound connection between humans and animals. The film resonates deeply with me, showcasing the transformative influence of a faithful animal companion. "Max" illuminates the enduring bond between man and his best friend, the invaluable lessons of loyalty, courage, and unconditional love. It's a touching reminder of the profound impact pets have on our lives, enriching our experiences and providing unwavering companionship.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
“Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga — that's a song that really captures who I am. Growing up, and even now, Lady Gaga's music has been like a constant companion in my life. “Paparazzi” was always blasting in my car, and I couldn't resist belting out those iconic lyrics whenever it came on. It's more than just a song; it's a part of me, reflecting my love for music and my joy in singing my heart out.
