Miss Teen South Carolina International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
Serendipity. Not only is it fun to say, but I also love its meaning, an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident. What could be more fun than a desirable accident?

What according to you is a true friend?
Always remove your make-up at night. I learned this from my mother, who has amazing skin. I hope by following in her footsteps I can age just as gracefully as she has.

How do you handle criticism?
I am most proud of my mom and dad who are both entrepreneurs. They are both dedicated to their jobs, but they also know when to leave work behind because family is the most important thing to them.

When was the last time you tried something new?
I love Sundays. Not only is it a day to rest, but it's a great day for family time. It also gives you time to plan for the week ahead.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
My Eeyore doll. My parents bought me an Eeyore stuffed animal when I was five years old and we have only spent one night apart since. She goes everywhere I go, she's been with me through multiple surgeries and soon we're both off to college.
