Miss Nevada

Shivonn Geeb

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Overcame my fear of heights by going cliff jumping at Lake Mead just outside of Las Vegas. All the guys were doing it so I wanted to represent the girls. We also had a video camera. I thought it would be a great time to actually document how crazy I can be. It was a great feeling to face my fear and conquer it.
