IN Chicago (Skokie), Illinois
1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
There’s been a Miss America Barbie and a Miss Universe Barbie, but there hasn’t been a Miss International Barbie yet, and I’d love to be that girl. After modeling for Sherri Hill, I’ve seen how fashion and confidence inspire from the outside, but what I love most is that Barbie shows girls they can be anything they dream. I believe Miss International does the same, celebrating purpose, success, and women who use their voices to make a difference.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
The weirdest thing by my bed isn’t even mine, it’s my cat Carlos’s favorite toy. Every night I share my nightstand space with a glittery stuffed mouse. Waking up to it reminds me that no matter how busy life gets, I’m Carlos’s whole world.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I relate most to Mirabel from Encanto. She leads with heart, brings people together, and shows that your greatest gift is who you are. Family, culture, and perseverance shape her story, just like they do mine.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
The past, because I would give anything for one more ordinary day with my dad. I’d memorize every joke, every conversation, every hug. His loss is why I live so intentionally now. It’s also why I’m committed to making sure people know there is always hope and always someone who cares.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
My parents would say I’m the girl who goes from track practice to a modeling shoot still wearing half my cheer makeup, says yes to every adventure, and somehow turns pressure into power mode. I’m equal parts goofy and driven, always laughing, always moving.
