What is Your Favorite Place to Visit in Portland and Why?

"I think my favorite place in Portland would be Rocky Butte because it’s a place where I can not only take cute pictures because of the nice view but it’s also a place where my sisters and I go to take a break from the world and just breathe. It’s above the city meaning it’s quieter and nice for us to just relax. I love that it gives me a chance to have some time to myself and thoughts.”

What Are You Most Proud of During Your High School Career?

"I think I am most proud of how I stayed focused on my purpose of being in school instead of drama or boys. Although learning and staying on top of my work is a really big challenge, I’m grateful that I am an observant person who stays true to herself and didn’t get caught up with a toxic crowd."

What is Your Favorite Rose Festival Event and Why?

"This is going to sound crazy but I don’t remember ever going to an Rose Festival Event and I am not sure why. This is also the reason why I am applying to be a part of the court to get the chance to experience the most traditional and beautiful Portland event."
