My idea of beauty is being completely comfortable and content with who you are as a person. To me, beauty is being comfortable in your own skin and feeling confident about yourself no matter what kind of clothes you're wearing, how your hair looks, or if you're wearing makeup or not. It's being so satisfied with yourself that the very idea that you should change anything about yourself whether it's how you dress or the way you act seems silly.

I grew up on a farm and went to a very small school in North Dakota. I was always the quiet girl who never had many friends so that's why I love my animals so much. I especially love to ride my horses. It was when I was 16 that I got the courage to enter in my first pageant and I was the first runner-up as Miss North Dakota Teen USA. From that moment on I was hooked! It felt so wonderful to feel beautiful for once. Being involved in pageantry made me want to pursue a career in the modeling world too, but I was crushed when I found out I was only 2 inches too short. Ever since then I've been dying for an opportunity like this. Thank you Fashion Hero!

I love working out with my twin brother, attempting to bake or cook with my sister, being active outdoors, reading, spending time with my animals or any animals in general, creating art, and shopping.
