1. How do your personal / unique qualities best fit the International Pageant system?

I am dedicated to my marriage, as well as my family. I am a positive role model in my community. I truly believe I can have a positive impact on many people's lives if given the opportunity to share my platform.

2. What is something that few people know about you?

Very few people know that I had the privilege of living in South Korea for a year where I taught Korean children how to speak English at The Michigan Language Institute. I had four different classes of boys ranging in age from 7-17. It was an experience I'll never forget.

3. What do you do to stay healthy?

My three boys usually keep me pretty active, but I also work out a couple of times a week. I eat healthy proportioned meals and make sure to get a little "beauty" rest. This helps me stay healthy, happy and productive for both my family and myself.

4. Everyone talks about “Family Values”. What are they?

"Family Values" are the life lessons you want your children to learn and then hand down to their children. My family's values include: Responsibility for our own actions; Respect for ourselves and other’s; and above all we value our family's Love, never saying good-bye without saying "I Love You".

5. What is your worst habit? Why?

My worst habit is I don't always know how to say "No." I'm learning that I don't always have the time to complete the task properly or to the best of my ability.
