What I most want to accomplish this year…

The biggest misconception of being Miss USA… I’m looking forward to bringing causes like the Alzheimer’s Association, Children of the Night, Breast and Ovarian Cancer Research, and the Miss USA Organization’s causes to a higher level of awareness within this country.

The biggest misconception of being Miss USA…

People really don’t understand the amount of work that goes into getting to this place in life, and what this job is.

On what Miss USA’s slogan “Confidently Beautiful, means to me…

Knowing who you are and owning it. Understanding that beauty is so much more than what you look like on the outside.

On Miss USA being my toughest job yet…

I’m new at this job and being the face of such a prestigious organization, and for the first time in my life I’m really in the spotlight and exposed to public criticism and this is something I will have to deal with for an entire year.
