What's something memorable about you?



Through any rough or tough time, getitng ​through it with a sarcastic yet bubbly ​optimism is a way to remember me as people ​note. Though I’m always on a tight schedule, ​at any given time, I will manage to squeeze in ​something spontaneous to add the extra ​seasonings to life!

Why did you join MAC? / What is your goal with MAC?

The reason why i joined MAC was because I ​was inspired to become a role model by my ​soroity sister and former contestant, Rish! I ​know there are a lot of girls like me out there ​who feel like they don’t belong or feel foreign ​regardless on where they go, so I want to be ​their open reminder that it is amazing to be ​different and unique in their own way as I ​hope to be one of the few of many ​representations to them. My goal here with ​MAC is to embrace differences and create ​new memories with my pageant sisters as I ​don’t see this opportunity as competition, but ​more so of an opportunity for sisterhood!

Bio -

As a woman of mixed ethnicities in a country full of diversity, it constantly feels as if I am a foreigner, regardless on where I go. Because of this, there is a struggle to communicate, the fears of being made fun of and other factors that scare me in to meeting new people as the world is full of the unknown. I am an introvert (MBTI:INFJ) with the desire of wanting to meet and be able to talk to new people and hearing their stories.
