Biography

I attended high school at Haddon Township High School, NJ and I am currently a Junior at the prestigious College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ. I come from a large extended family with thirty-one aunts and uncles, 46 first cousins, and two wonderful grandmothers that have always supported my adventure in the industry.

My life thus far has consisted of sports, theater, academics and music. As a high school student, I was captain of the varsity soccer and track teams and was recruited by many schools to continue in that direction. The performing arts have also played a huge role in my life: I have been playing the flute for 11 years and have played lead roles in over 12 theatrical productions. I graduated high school in the National Honor Society and also received the awards of "The Class of 2007's Outstanding Overall Performing Arts Student," "Outstanding Student in Drama," along with conference and team awards for soccer.

Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2006

In 2006, I decided to enter something completely out of the ordinary for me: a pageant. I wore my prom dress, borrowed shoes, did my own hair & makeup, and was completely clueless. I ended up winning and had the most memorable year of my life thus far. I spent the year traveling all over the state of New Jersey participating in charitable events and became a spokesperson for teens of NJ.

I also had the opportunity to travel to Palm Springs, CA and participate in the nationally televised Miss Teen USA Pageant on NBC. For 2 weeks I competed and had the time of my life. I ended up making it to the top 15 then the top 10, which was a huge honor. (Click Here to view my gown presentation from the preliminary competition!)
