1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Family is everything to me. I am so incredibly blessed with an amazing family and husband, Matt. Spending quality time with the entire family during the holidays is something I will always cherish. One of my favorite family traditions is getting together during Christmas to bake cookies and watch “It’s a Wonderful Lifeâ€. I can smell the fresh baked cookies and hot chocolate as we speak!
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I want to provide education opportunities for individuals who would otherwise not pursue post-secondary education. Each year thousands of grants and scholarships go unused because scholars are unaware they exist. That is where my platform, “Join it! Learn it! Live it! Education for Lifeâ€, began. Being the link between students and universities has allowed me to help over 1,200 scholars across the world gain access to higher educational programs.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Helping individuals accomplish their educational goals and launch their careers is the most rewarding feeling in the world. I will never forget being able to help a young, single mother of two children, gain access to free education and land her dream career as a nurse. Through my workshop program she was able to receive a full-ride scholarship and is now pursuing a graduate degree.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Realizing the positive impact I have on children through volunteer work. Walking into a classroom with my crown and sash on captures their attention and creates a sense of importance to the topic of the day. It always brightens my day to see a student run to their family and show them a craft project we created together or a fun photograph we took.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
