Why I need to work out: I need to work out because I'm going to be in the Miss Arizona Pageant. I'm going to work very hard and I'm going to learn from all of last year's mistakes and take them into consideration for Miss Arizona USA 2009.

Goals: I really, really want to get picked into the Top 15. If I practice interview questions and work out every day and get my mind and body in the best condition they've ever been in, I know I will do well and achieve my goals!

I'm a student at Arizona State University studying journalism and film. I'm a pageant girl who's wants desperately to do better this year than last. I'm a new-fashioned gal with old-fashioned beliefs. I'm a competitor who knows how to work hard.

I have a wonderful boyfriend, Shaun, and 2 hamsters (Hank and Dean) and a fish (Sgt. Tacklebox). I love them all dearly, and am convinced that if I can switch Shaun over to the "lite side" of healthy eating, I know I'd beat my "Team Player" diet profile and take the pageant by storm!
