About Me
I was recently awarded the title of Miss Indiana International 2012. I will be making appearances and doing events throughout the year and competing for the title of Miss International in July 2012. My personal platform that I am advocating is Domestic Violence – Awareness & Prevention.
In 2011 I was in a competition with 93.5/96.7 MAX and was featured as Miss June in their 2011 calendar. You can see a screen shot of us on their website or see the photos on the photographer’s site.
Education and Career
I am trying to work my way through college, studying magazine journalism at Ball State University. I would like to try to become the editor of a fashion or women’s lifestyle magazine, but I would also like to be able to branch off into other types of journalism like newspaper, broadcast, opinion, web content, etc. I love writing. It is the one thing I was really good at in high school and I also enjoyed the most, so I thought why not make a career out of it. In high school, I wrote for the school newspaper, managed their website, also wrote for and helped design the yearbook. I have been a writer for several e-zines over the years as well. Ever since then, I have been into writing and developing publications. I currently sell some of my work to websites like Associated Content and contribute to some e-zines and websites.
Volunteering
When I can, I like to volunteer for organizations that I have an interest in. I just recently signed up to volunteer for a domestic crisis center since the issue of domestic violence is very important to me. I will be taking calls and doing casework. I have also volunteered as a patient transporter for Ball Memorial Hospital for 2 years. I think it would be cool to do a new volunteering project every 6 months or so. It can be really fun and a great way to meet new people. It is also great experience to add to your resume.
Interests
Writing, pageants, volunteering, music, hoop dancing, going for walks, poetry, philosophy, animals, fashion, magazines, reading good blogs.
TV – King of Queens, Sex And The City, Big Bang Theory, America’s Next Top Model, Family Guy, South Park, and I still love watching reruns of Fresh Prince and Reba.
Music – Lots of classic rock and dubstep, but I like a lot of other stuff too.
