What is the craziest thing you have ever done? White water rafting and Cliff Diving, because I faced my fear of heights cliff diving and felt strong and happier with my self for doing it. I love the water so white water rafting was exhilarating. Also, taking a trip to British Columbia and taking a dingy out into the middle of the Ocean, and watching Orca whales swim underneath the dingy. It was a dream come true because I love whales and dolphins.

"Actor", I love expressing myself through the Arts.

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a Miss Universe Canada contestant) that makes you especially proud.

Graduating College! I had a learning disorder growing up and was in special education, but I worked hard and studied to catch up to the other students and made many sacrifices. It was all worth it and my hard work paid off.

I'm caring, thoughtful, personable and an excellent listener. My friends say I'm reliable, open-minded and have a great sense of humour and my smile on stage is just as big as my smile off stage.

What is your favourite movie, song, sport, and food?

Movie- "Lion King"- teaches us about life.
Song-"Lightning Crashes" By Live
Sport-Soccer, because it combines agility, strength, stamina and strategic planning.

What would you like to accomplish if you win the Miss Universe Canada
title?

To serve as an inspiration/hope for young people. I would love nothing more than to show youth that anything is possible. That the world is a great place, and "we" together can make it even better. I would love to visit the Canadian troops that are serving overseas, and let them know they are not forgotten.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.

I have 2 mottos to live by: "Treat others as you would like to be treated", and "Carpe Diem"
