What are your strongest talents?
Because I have been dancing since the age of three and singing since I was ten years old, I would say that these are my strongest talents.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Pat Villano (mother). My mother has always been a stay-at-home mom, and I really respect her for choosing a family over career. She has always told me that she is my greatest supporter and my worst critic. She gives me great advice and treats me like I am special. She loves me unconditionally and is always there for me. She really is the glue that holds our family together.

Describe how you envision yourself in five years?
In five years I will have graduated college with a BFA in Theatre and I will be starring in a Broadway Show, hopefully as Peggy Sawyer in "42nd Street." Also I will be wrapping up my first feature film with Tom Hanks.

What else do you want the judges to know about you?
I would like the judges to know that I've been preparing for this "job" since the age of ten and I really do take this position seriously. Also, I am a very prompt and dedicated person, and I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well.
