1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
The integrity, class and caliber of everyone who is part of the International family are what attracted me to the system when I first competed in 2006. Family, faith and a commitment to community are qualities I live by and share with International pageant system.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Life has brought many storms to season my journey. Heart disease claimed my parents. In January, my husband and I welcomed our miracle of a son who spent more than 130 days in the NICU. Andy and I have spent five years working with the USO and ASY.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
There always needs to be balance as health comes in so many levels. Physical activity definitely helps to keep me on track which is why I work out regularly with my husband. But we also try to be better people and to grow as a family spiritually and mentally.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
My husband Andy and I know first hand the struggles military families go through. Overseas deployments and the dangers of war have created for us an extended family of support. Values are those you live by, believe and achieve. My husband makes me a better because of that.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
SHOES AND REALITY TV! Can you have too much of either I also tend worry which serves me well as a mom and military wife. (If there isn’t anything to worry about, I worry “why not?”)
