Miss Teen Rhode Island International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
Love! Love is my favorite word because without love, I don’t think a person can survive. Love truly is an amazing feeling and without my loving family and friends, I don’t know what my life would consist of.

What according to you is a true friend?
Smile, Smile, Smile! A smile expresses warmth and a caring heart. When you are beautiful on the inside, it can’t possibly be hidden on the outside. Make the world a happier place and smile.

How do you handle criticism?
I take most pride in my grades in school. Good grades make me feel good about myself. The key is to work hard and keep creating demanding goals for yourself. Goals allow you to reach your potential.

When was the last time you tried something new?
Mondays! I love school, which is the reason I love Mondays. Mondays offer a fresh start to a new week of learning, which is a journey you must take advantage of. If you want to be successful over the long haul, you must be willing to put in hard work.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
I don’t believe in luck. I believe in faith. I feel as though if you truly believe in something and have faith in yourself, you can accomplish anything. We do not achieve by luck and good fortune but by hard work and determination.
