My father is a computer geek and my mother is a breast cancer survivor. In the middle of two brothers, Jeff and Jesse, I grew up a tom boy and I think I still am, albeit I feel naked without make-up. Currently, I live very far away from my family. I moved to Washington, D.C. after graduating college and my entire family is still in our hometown of Lakeland, FL.

I have competed in a few pageants including Miss Florida USA and Miss District of Columbia (MAO)

As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I am an advocate for the American Cancer Society and I sit on a local American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, ACSCAN, government relations board. I spend time lobby the local government on rules and legislation regarding the ACSCAN legislative agenda.

Anything that advances the cure for cancer and empowering women.

Who is your favorite role model?
Ron Paul because has fought for liberty for over 24 years as a member of the House of Representatives and has never once flip-flopped on a position. His platform takes a stance against the most powerful entities (i.e., Wall Street and the Federal Reserve) and he is one of the only Members courageous enough to do so. He has never had any ethics violations or accusations. I believe he will go down in history as one of the most important politicians of my generation.
Ten years from now where do you see yourself?
Reforming the central banking system.
