Miss Teen South Carolina International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
I would have to say that the best laughs always seem to come from my friends and all the inside jokes we’ve made throughout the years. It’s always so much fun to reminisce on all the silly things that have happened and wait for those that have yet to occur!

What according to you is a true friend?
Some may call me un-American teenager but pizza, hamburgers, and hotdogs never sound appetizing to me! I don’t like them at all and would so much rather eat a good ole peanut butter and jelly!

How do you handle criticism?
Along with cheerleading, dancing, tumbling, and INSANITY, I run every morning and night to stay in shape, working out is one thing that always makes me happy. Although I love to energize myself with endorphins I also think staying healthy requires eating right and maintaining a positive attitude.

When was the last time you tried something new?
Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! Anything from sandals to wedges always puts the cherry on top of my sundae, especially when I just happen to have the perfect pair to pull off a super cute outfit!

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
“The most beautiful dresses for the most beautiful girl, you choose”. My dad created a moment that would last a life time as he spoke those words and looked at me as I chose the blue Lilly dress. I would buy a moment like that for my best friend.
