1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Tallahassee, Florida's capital, is my hidden gem where the essence of Florida meets Georgia's charm. Beyond being a city, it holds a special place in my heart. Exploring historical plantations feels like stepping into a tapestry of rich history. With over 39 museums and performing arts venues, the city is culturally vibrant. Winding canopy roads, Southern cuisine, college football, and serving as the epicenter for politics create a unique blend of opportunity and small-town Southern charm. Tallahassee is more than a location; it's my story unfolding.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I have a deep appreciation for vintage jewelry. My grandmother left me an incredible collection, ranging from glamorous pins she wore in the past that are now modern statement pieces. You can expect to see many of these treasures during pageant week.
Another cherished possession is our collection of photo albums. Nothing compares to having moments frozen in time. Having those moments printed is something that can't be recreated.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Growing up with a father who's a master chef can be a bit daunting. While I may not have inherited his culinary talents, I've found joy in simple traditions. One of my favorite memories involves making peanut butter chocolate cookies together, a tradition that brings back happy childhood moments. Another cherished recipe is my grandmother's famous chili. Anything that evokes those nostalgic feelings holds a special place in my heart.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
I'm chuckling as I write this because I'm a girl who savors every single moment of every day. I don't need a lot of sleep, so this could be life-changing. Seriously, if there was a freebie hour in the day, I would get up every morning, just minutes before daybreak. I'd watch the sunrise over the lake and celebrate the start of a new day without racing the clock.
