QUESTION# 01 You are so beautiful and inspirational to many women, tell us about your journey? My journey began in small town Washington, where my parents taught me to be intentionally compassionate with everyone and choose strength when faced with adversity. My family’s leadership of love and service work received the Highest Civic Honor from Secretary of State in the state of Washington, which is given to 8 individuals each year form secretary of state. My life has been faced with major challenges: facial burns, pacemaker surgery, but I choose to not let my circumstances define me. To help others choose resilience and rise up from their challenges, I am humbly given hundreds of talks while being a full-time college student at the University of Washington. I have been visiting students at Harvard University, Yale University and Stanford University. QUESTION# 02 What are the challenges you faced as a contestant? I have none! I fully enjoyed the process of being a contestant. QUESTION# 03 What motivates you? My purpose to serve. Having that purpose to serve, led me to overcome challenges of heart defeat, facial burns and I want others to live with their true purpose so they can too, overcome their hardships and live a fulfilling life. QUESTION# 04 What is your definition of success? True success for me is defined by the positive difference one makes in their lifetime. True success is acknowledging others’ presence and not ignoring them. True success is being kind behind peoples’ back. True success is giving the “benefit of the doubt”, non-judgmental, not harsh.
