Miss Connecticut

Christine Perkins

What is the craziest thing you have ever done.
The craziest thing I’ve ever done was when, at the age of 7, I went with my dad on a parachute ride that had a drop of 250 feet.

Please list, starting with the latest, any schools and universities (public/private/graduate/trade or technical) you have or are attending, as well as the area of study, last date completed and any degree or certification you received.
East Lyme High School.

Please list any Honors/Awards you have received in the past 2 years.
Being crowned Miss Connecticut Teen USA 2004.

What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you.
The most interesting thing that has ever happened to me would be being able to meet famous actors on set. I’ve met Billy Crystal, Robert De Niro, Meg Ryan, and Jean Stapleton.

Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you.
I am the oldest child of two. Being the oldest child means that I am the one who “breaks the ice” for my sister. Parents are sometimes more protective of their firstborn. What I like about being the oldest is that I can help my sister with situations/homework or whatever she may need.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Helen Desnoyers, my grandma. My grandma is the best person in the whole world. First and foremost she’s like my best friend. I can tell her absolutely everything. She has a lot of wise advice for me, mainly because she’s older than I am, but I have advice for her too. She’s incredibly open-minded for the most part. She’s free-spirited, kind, loving, and extremely independent. She has had to live a tough life, and I admire her so much for it! Now that she doesn’t have my grandfather living at home, she does all of the mowing, trimming, and all the yard work, not to mention taking care of the rest of the house. She’s just an amazing person; one day I hope I’ll be just as wonderful as she is.

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years.
Please provide the name of the charity, level of involvement.
Connecticut Humane Society
The Alzheimers Association: I do interviews on a public service station. I also sell teddy bears, with proceeds benefiting the association.
