What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

The craziest thing I have ever done was tried to cut my own hair when I was twelve. Needless to say, the results were predictable and I would never attempt to do this again.

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years?

I have participated in fundraising for the CIBC Run for the Cure, Barrie’s future Simcoe-Muskoka Regional Cancer Care Centre and the United Way. I have volunteered my time at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. Presently, I am volunteering my time with the Simcoe Community Services.

What would be your "dream job" in life?

My “dream job” in life would be to have a career as an Interpreter.

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

Receiving the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario award for outstanding academic, volunteer and community participation. Its recipient is an outgoing, well-rounded young adult.

What is the most important thing you want people to know about you?

I am honest, genuine and I love life; living everyday to it’s fullest.

What are your favorite movie, song, sport, and food?

My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption.

My favorite artist is Sarah McLachlan.

My favorite sport is Hockey.

My favorite food is Alfredo penne with shrimp.

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

I would like to volunteer my time as Miss Universe Canada to help aid in fundraising for the development of the Simcoe-Muskoka Regional Cancer Care Centre. This cause is especially dear to me, as I have experienced through personal relationships the effect of not having a facility in my community.

A motto that has served you as inspiration.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself.” E.W. Wilcox
