Miss Teen Ohio International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mary Poppins was right.. it's extraordinary! (Say it... It really does make you feel better!)

What according to you is a true friend?
Curling your eyelashes using an eyelash curler makes your eyes look wider, brighter and makes eyelashes appear naturally longer. If you heat the eyelash curler beforehand using a blow dryer, lashes will stay curled longer - even until the next day! (Works like a charm!)

How do you handle criticism?
I am extremely proud to have earned a 4.0 cumulative GPA and to be a designated Presidential Scholar's student at Miami University. Overcoming dyslexia has been quite a difficult journey but has helped me recognize the gifts related to this diagnosis; whereas, most view it only as "a learning disability."

When was the last time you tried something new?
I love Sunday - my day to relax, spend quality time with my family, and attend church. Oh, and did I mention our family tradition of eating brunch every Sunday at the Cheesecake Factory?!?! May I suggest the French Toast Napoleon with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice? Yum!

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
My good luck charm is something that I received on my crowning night. My sister attached an heirloom cross pin to my sash as a token of good luck. Wearing this pin reminds me that with faith all things are possible.
