What makes you special and unique?
I am notorious for taking the road less traveled. Doing things differently has become, in a way, my mission in life. Why walk when you can dance? Why speak when you can sing? This is what makes me special and unique.

What is the best advice you have ever received?
My mother is constantly reminding me that I should live life one day at a time. When I find myself surrounded by deadlines and to-do lists twenty miles long, it is the sound of my mother's voice echoing this advice in my mind that keeps me from collapsing in a heap of frustration.

Name one thing you cannot live without.
I cannot live without music. It is both a means of relaxation and a discipline, a form of entertainment and the vessle through which I worship the God who gave it me in the first place.

What's the most valuable lesson you've ever learned?
The most valuable lesson I have ever learned is that God never says no. He only has three answers: "Yes," "Not right now," or "I have something better in mind."

Who is your most valued role model and why?
I do not have a role model. I do not believe that any one person is close enough to perfection to model yourself after. Humans were made that way. But, a combination of all of the good qualities of the people I have known affect the person I am today, not perfect, but an individual.

What was your most unexpected moment?
Winning Miss William Carey University.

What is your workout routine?
Exercising for exercising's sake tends to get very boring and, quite frankly, I don't have the self discipline for it. Therefore I resort to dance as my form of exercise. It's a fun and unique way to keep in shape and you're more likely to stick to it, because it doesn't feel like work.

What has been your biggest accomplishment to date?
Winning Miss William Carey University, but that's the delight of being young. I've already accomplished such a great honor and my life still lies ahead of me.

What is the best compliment you have ever received?
My parents tell me on a regular basis how proud they are of me. I can think of no greater compliment than to know you bring joy to the people that you love.

What is your secret wish?
It's a secret.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
I participated in my preliminary mostly to make friends, so on the night of the pageant I spread the word that I was hosting an ice cream party after the event for everyone but the winner who wasn't invited since she couldn't get fat....

As it turned out, I wasn't invited to my own party.

What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
I'm a bit of a Harry Potter fan, even though I'm too old.

What is your favorite movie and why?
Holiday Inn is my favorite. Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers all in one film! It doesn't get any better than that.

What do you like to do for fun... relaxation... recreation?
I like to sing. I know. I'm a very well-rounded individual.

What would be your dream vacation or destination?
I'd like to see Italy at least once.

What do you like best about the state of Mississippi?
The sunsets. I know it's the same sky anywhere you go, but there's nothing more beautiful than a sun setting over a river in Mississippi.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I plan to be performing somewhere, probably Disney World, maybe the Met.
