Scholastic/Career Ambition: After completing my accounting degree at GRCC, I plan on transferring to a university to further my education in the business field. Currently, working at a banking center I’ve come to learn there are so many opportunities outside beyond the actual banking center which leads me to want to become a district manger.

He aspired me to challenge myself to work hard and set goals in order to be an accomplished top teller.

How has the world you come from shaped your dreams and aspirations? The world I grew up in has shaped my dreams in many different ways. So many people I know who started with nothing were driven, determined, and now have everything. These accomplishments from others lead me to know anything is possible. If I put my heart and soul into a goal I'm passionate to achieve then I can defiantly do so.
Of all the ways you could succeed in your life, why have you chosen to succeed in the Miss Auburn Pageant? Competing in the Miss Auburn Pageant allows me to connect with young women in my community who have the same ambition for school like me. I really do enjoy improving myself in the program as well as watching others improve in their confidence and interview skills. The transformations are amazing and that is why I decided to be apart of such a wonderful team again.
What social issue, other than your platform, will have the greatest impact on your generation and why? Tuition costs with colleges will have a huge impact on not only my generation, but all generations to come. The cost for tuition steadily rises every year which causes hardships on families to make those payments to further their child's education.
