Hobbies
Reading. I always try to read at least one book off of Bill Gate's "Best of the Year" list. I also enjoy working on my businesses.
Why did you get involved in pageantry?
Initially, it was just to try something new and expand my comfort zone. But then I realized I wanted to make a difference in my community. I actually won Miss Texas America's "Miracle Maker Award," which goes to the contestant that raises the most money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. I also love modeling and felt this was a nice mix of both.
