How do your personal / unique qualities best fit the International Pageant system?
My personal and professional integrity translates into a powerful sense of the positive, a passionate mission to enrich the lives of others, tremendous faith in self-empowerment, enthusiastic, energetic, and comfortable confidence as a spokesperson.

What is something that few people know about you?
Being an assistant minister, and having traveled extensively internationally, allows me the ability to connect with people in a very personal way. People feel comfortable approaching me and I connect easily with all ages, lifestyles and backgrounds.

What do you do to stay healthy?
I joined the American Heart Association Choose to Move program to enrich my desire for a healthy lifestyle. I record Yoga on TV and exercise in my living room. I'm also a Weight Watcher Ambassador and Life Time Member. Being healthy is a daily lifestyle choice to me.

Everyone talks about "family values", what are they?
Instilled through our examples, our values show in how we live, laugh, cope with difficulty, express affection, and give of our time or blessings. It's what we do, not say, that reveals our values. By showing and building relationships, we gain the benefit to share our gems of wisdom.

What is your worst habit? Why?
My over-achiever personality means I always strive to do my best even if it means going out of my way to help someone or giving a few extra hours to my volunteer duties, I'll end up writing late into the night. I've learned excellent time management from being an over-achiever.
