What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Creative, compassionate, and understanding!
How do you define “beautiful”?
Beautiful can mean so many things! Strength, smarts, and class are all timeless and super important for everyone. Those traits never go out of style!
What’s the best part about being a woman?
My favorite thing about being a woman is surprising people. There’s this really unfortunate stigma surrounding women that they’re weak and passive, so I think people get really shocked when we are confident and sure of ourselves. It’s so fun to see people be taken aback by it!
What advice would you give to young girls?Â
I would tell young girls to keep their focus on themselves and their goals. Don’t let anyone stop you from going after your dreams, whether it’s your boyfriend, your friends, anyone. You deserve to get what you want from life!
Who was the best female role model for you when growing up and why?
This will definitely sound cliché, but the best female role model for me throughout my whole life has been my mom. She’s the type of woman who can change a tire on your car and then go get a mani-pedi with you after that. She has so much strength and independence and I would be lucky to ever be half the woman that she is!
What’s your favorite feature about yourself?
My favorite thing about myself is my determination. When there’s something I really want to accomplish or feel really passionately about, I follow it through to the end and it makes me feel proud of myself- that’s the best feeling!
Why do you #LoveYourself?
I #LoveMyself because I know who I am and what I value. To love yourself, you first have to know yourself and that can take a lot of work, but in the end it’s totally worth it.Â
