1. How many pageants have you previously competed in? (Please include which system and your placement)
I have only competed in local pageants, but the most memorable moment was when I was crowned Teen Miss Cullman County Fair in 2010. Also, I competed in Miss Maroon and White at Mississippi State University last March.
2. What made you decide to compete in Miss Mississippi USA 2016?
I decided to compete in Miss Mississippi USA 2016 because I want the chance to be able to increase awareness, improve treatment options, and educate more on Breast Cancer on a state, national, and international level.
3. Outside of competing in pageants, what do you like to do for fun? I would like to be outdoors. I enjoy kayaking, hiking, snowboarding and exploring new places. I once hiked 8 miles in Kauai, Hawaii to see the waterfall from Jurassic Park – the last two miles back was a torrential rainstorm and I finished the hike barefoot. 4. Give a brief bio about yourself. Include where you are attending school(include year and major if applicable), your future goals, etc. (Feel free to include however much or little as you like in this section)
I am from Cullman, Alabama, but I moved to Starkville, Mississippi to attend Mississippi State University. I am a junior Human Science major with a Fashion Design and Merchandising concentration. I have an emphasis in Merchandising, and minors in Business Administration and Marketing. After college, it is my goal to start my own sock company. I want to provide fashion forward socks for men and women of all ages. I want to brand this company in the first couple of years by traveling to college campuses across the country in a refurbished vintage airstream. This also satisfies my hunger for traveling and seeing this great country. 5. If you win your state title, what do you hope to accomplish throughout your reign?
If I win my state title, there are a number of things I would like to accomplish. Aside from promoting my beautiful state of Mississippi, and Breast Cancer awareness, I would like to bring awareness to a project called Operation That’s My Dress. The USO, Sherri Hill, as well as many other designers provide beautiful dresses to teenage girls, female service members, and military spouses. I would love the opportunity, as a great granddaughter, granddaughter, and daughter of veterans, to give back to the military that sacrifices so much for all of us.
6. What is your dream job(besides being Miss USA, of course!)
My dream job is to become a CEO of a powerhouse fashion company. I want
to be able to be one of the few women on the top of the list of CEO's in the
fashion business.
