She placed in the Top 10 at Miss International and spent her year of service speaking at events nationally with non-profit organizations NAMI and Hope for the Warriors.”

In addition, she comes from five generations of military men “and her father is currently serving in the Army. She spent most of her life moving around the country, which has made it easy for her to adapt and grow in new environments and she is never afraid to meet new people! She says while the term “Army Brat” can sometimes have a negative connotation, she is thankful for her experience as the daughter of a service member which has given her many opportunities in life and provided her a different perspective to global issues.”
