I love musicals and I have seen over 10 musicals in person, including Hamilton, Wicked, and Come From Away! I always love the opportunity to see live musicals when I can!
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am really proud of competing for Miss Oregon's Teen! I loved getting to represent the Pacific Northwest as Miss Northwestern's Teen! It was so cool getting to compete. But one of my favorite parts was meeting the other titleholders and connecting with everyone! I had such a great time and I am really proud of pushing past my comfort zone and competing.

I love reading and one of my favorite books I've read recently is The Hunger Games. The author does such a great job at creating such an incredible story that makes you have to keep reading.
Favorite song?
I love Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, I've actually danced a ballet solo to it!
Favorite movie?
I am repeating answers, but Hunger Games! I usually don't like movie adaptations of books, but I feel like the movie did a really good job of representing the book well. Although the book is better!
And lastly, what was your favorite TV show when you were 5 years old. And what is your favorite TV show today?
My favorite show when I was 5 was Clifford! I used to watch it on repeat, much to my sister's disappointment. My favorite show now is Gilmore Girls, my mom introduced it to me and I really love the storyline and all the characters! And now this is what I watch on repeat, lol!
