Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?

What is your proudest personal accomplishment (other than participating in this pageant)?

One of my proudest moments was graduating my program in College as an Early Childhood Educator. It took me a lot of work to get to where I am today and being able to reach my goals of working with children has made me feel honoured and proud.

What would be your “dream job” in life?

My dream job is to be a teacher that travels around the world helping the less fortunate children. Working with children is a passion of mine and being able to make a difference in their world would be very heart warming. Traveling is also something I enjoy. Being able to do the two things I love the most at the same time would be the perfect job for me.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.

My childhood was very loving and supportive. Raised in the country, I was always outside playing on the four wheelers and dirt bikes. I had great parents and an older brother who were always there when needed. I grew up doing many family vacations and spending lots of time with the people I love. My Grandparents were also a huge part of my childhood as I spent a lot of time on the farm with them. My childhood has shaped me into the woman I am today and it is all due to a great supportive family. From an early age they have taught me to be a good person and always stand up for what you believe in. My parents taught me to never give up on opportunities and always put 110 percent into everything you do.

Where is the most interesting place you have been to?

The most interesting place I have ever been to was Jamaica. Although it’s a poor country everyone is still very happy. They are grateful for the things they do have in life. Something that made this place so interesting is that everyone would rather get together and play a game of soccer or basketball then sit and be on their phones. It really made me open my eyes and see how much people are missing out in life by being on their phones and not enjoying the moment.

I hope that in 10 years I will be traveling the world, and also becoming a teacher in the school board. I would like to help the children that are less fortunate and be able to make a difference in their world.

I try to be mindful of everyone and I know that I can make a difference in our country.
