Miss Teen Michigan International®

What Superhero would you like to be and why?
My favorite sound is always going to be the birds chirping on a summer morning. It’s a wonderful sound to wake up to – and it will always top an alarm clock!

What according to you is a true friend?
I would love to be able to be a better writer. I have read a myriad of books and the way the authors express themselves blows me away. If I could place my emotions and thoughts on to paper the way they do, I’d be truly blessed!

How do you handle criticism?
My motto is “you give what you get.” I relate it to every aspect of life. When you are respectful, you get respect. I have made it a habit to give to others what I expect them to give me. If more people acted this way the world would be a more positive place.

When was the last time you tried something new?
Probably more mistakes than most. However, mistakes are the building blocks of character. Making a mistake presents a lesson that’s necessary later in life. I have no regrets because I am positive they will make me an improved person in the end.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
Anything organic, non-processed, and wheat-free. Not only am I a celiac, but what you put into your body is what you get out of it. I am spontaneous, so eating healthy gives me the energy I need to be the crazy, fun person I like to be!
