Married/Single: single

City you live in: North Scottsdale, Arizona
A typical day in my life includes…
coffee on the go, Kappa Delta, and working! When I get the chance for some free time, I enjoy going to the gym and shopping.
I was born…
in Glendale, Arizona.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is the architecture! Arizona has some of the most beautiful architecture and desert landscapes. As being a design student, I really appreciate Frank Lloyd Wright’s work and the beauty he brought to Arizona.
I’m listening to…
my favorite DJs, Illenium, Slander, San Holo or Post Malone.
My family…
is my biggest support system! It includes my mom, brother, grandma, and dogs.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Walt Disney. Without Disney, my childhood would not be the same. Disney keeps the child alive in everyone.
One thing I cannot live without…
is coffee, typical but so true! I’ve been drinking coffee since I was in the 4th grade.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a professional ballerina! I grew up dancing and always wanted to be in the Nutcracker, but I had an injury that stopped myself from continuing ballet.
I’m inspired by…
authentic, genuine and honest people. Being a Kappa Delta has helped me to become inspired by the many strong women I am constantly surrounded by. Each sister I come to know inspires me in a different way and helps me to better myself.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom and my grandma. I couldn’t choose one person because they both motivate me to chase my dreams and support me in every decision I make.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
animal cruelty. It is beyond heartbreaking to hear and see abused animals. I know that animal cruelty is now a felony, but I wish I could stop abuse from happening in the first place.
The perfect day would be…
sunny and 75, spent at Disneyland with my best friends.
My first job was…
at Cold Stone Creamery, scooping ice cream and making waffle bowls! I didn’t work there very long, so I consider my first job as a hostess at S & V Urban Italian in North Scottsdale! I have been working there for almost 5 years and I am now a server.
My favorite escape…
is shopping for sure, I like to call it “retail therapy”. You can always find me shopping for makeup at Sephora or shoes at Steve Madden.
My life…
is constantly busy! I am always on the go and enjoy being busy. Between being on the executive board for my sorority, working at a restaurant, and being a full-time design student, I don’t have much free time! When I do have free time, I enjoy spending it with friends and traveling.
I’m currently working on…
preparing for the Miss Arizona USA pageant!
Always…
have an open mind and an open heart. It is best to be optimistic and see the best in everyone you meet/every situation.
Never… lose sight of yourself or change for anyone. Be strong enough to walk away from situations and people who make you feel less.
Favorite Quote…
“Live by the sun, love by the moon.” My brother is a Leo and is ruled by the sun, I’m a Cancer and I’m ruled by the moon. My brother, mom and I all have this quote in a tattoo 🙂
Biggest Dream…
is to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel, but I would also like to be the founder of an interior design firm in North Scottsdale.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
are rude people and bad tippers. After working in the restaurant industry, I’ve experienced some very rude and hard to please people. I love my job, but sometimes it gets defeating when you’re working hard, and people don’t appreciate you. As a server you make less than minimum wage, so you really depend on the tips to make money.
