Why you decided to compete for the Royalty Court? I decided to compete for the Royalty Court because I thought it would be really fun to meet new people and get more involved in my community. And so far, it has been even more enjoyable than I imagined!

What experiences so far in the festival is something you will always remember? My favorite memory of the Strawberry Festival is going to the carnival. I love all the rides and being able to hang out with my friends.
 

What do you expect from this year as a Royalty Representative? I expect to have a lot of fun, and to be in a lot of parades and meet a lot of new people. 

Who is your role model and why? There are so many people in my life that I look up to. It would be impossible to only choose one specific person.

Your advice for future Royalty Candidates - I would advise all future Royalty Candidates to relax. When giving your speeches, look people in the eye, and remember to smile. Appreciate the whole experience, and talk to the other girls and their escorts. Have fun!
