I am a 30 year old mother of two, Giovanni (8 years old) and Isabelle (2 years old). I have been married for nine years. I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Management in 2008. My children are my world, everything I do I have them in mind. I strive to be the best mother, and role model for my children. I am passionate about education and stress the importance of this with my children. I would love to pursue an MBA in the near future. Okay, okay…..enough about what a PROUD mother I am.

I of course LOVE shopping, shoes, and make-up…..what young lady doesn't? On the flip side I enjoy playing sports, especially softball, football, and basketball! I did recently shoot a 12 gauge shot gun and I must say it was a blast, and I did it with my nails done and didn't mess up one of them. I love the beach and what peace it brings when you just sink your toes in the sand and watch the waves and just take a deep breath in. That is one of the best feelings in the world.

I like to keep myself busy, whether it is keeping track of my children's schedules and what activities they have going on or hanging out with my family and friends. When I decided to compete with Elite USA I found that to be a great opportunity to keep myself busy and doing something that I would enjoy. When I arrived in San Antonio for Nationals everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed the experience with all of the young ladies and getting to know everyone. It felt like I was a part of a family and not just a pageant.
