Miss Teen West Virginia International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
"Like" is my favorite word! Over the years I have learned that the excessive use of the word “like” during interview is a negative. The word “L.I.K.E.”, meaning Living In Kind Environments, is now my platform. So, I have turned the negative into a positive.

What according to you is a true friend?
Eating healthy and exercising is important to my outer aesthetics. I practice being kind to others and respecting myself, which allows me to express my inner beauty.

How do you handle criticism?
I take pride in my family more than anything. They have nurtured me into the young woman I am today. Having a supportive family aids in overcoming any obstacle in ones life whether it be a win or lose situation.

When was the last time you tried something new?
My favorite day is Wednesday. It is the middle of the week and it gives me time to reflect on what I have accomplished, while being able to look ahead at the rest of my week.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
I don't possess a good luck charm, and have never had one. I have always felt that being myself and having a positive attitude can get me through any situation.
