Miss Teen District of Columbia International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
Things are especially funny to me when I’m with people that I really love and care about. My dad’s just a comedy as he is. From his sarcasm to his (bad) impressions, he can definitely make me laugh!

What according to you is a true friend?
As compared to most teenagers, my ambition makes me very unique. For example, for years I’ve aspired to become a pediatric oncologist. Some think this kind of focus is unusual as a teenager, but I love children and want to use my life to have an influence on others!

How do you handle criticism?
I’m definitely very active and I stay healthy with things like playing lacrosse and riding horses but my favorite is dancing! I can go straight from wearing cleats or boots to heels or a dance uniform!

When was the last time you tried something new?
My Dance Team uniform! I absolutely love to dance (because I get to be a little sassy) and my teammates are some of my very favorite people! It also helps that the uniform is covered in sequins too!

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
What could be more classy than an Audrey-Hepburn-inspired little black dress? As for the rest of the money…I’m up for a day of shopping!!
