Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
My Grand Aunt Vivenne. I admire her strength to embrace the endless possibilities that life offers her, her ability to face each day with a positive attitude and a smile, also her passion for those dearest to her.

What is the most interesting or unique thing that has ever happened to you (aside from winning your title) and/or what is the most interesting thing about you?
One of the most unique things to ever happen to me took place in Rome,Italy. I was standing on the Spanish Steps (Piazza d' Espana)one of Rome's major attractions, and a man walked up to me and handed me a long stemmed red rose and said "this is for you, you are a lucky woman." My personality is the most interesting thing about me. It is unique because of my constant bubbling energy, contagious optimism,charisma and friendliness.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I hope to pursue a career in Law. I am currently waiting for responses from Law Schools I have applied to.
