Zamantha, Thank You for giving me your interview suit, you truly saved my national interview. To Suhanee Deedi Thank You for helping me prepare for Nationals, you are truly a cool person not just because we share the same name. 

This year, I've had the opportunity to use my title to speak to students at my school and other community events about anti-bullying.  I even landed my first acting roll in a Vectren a commercial.  The producers even gave my mom a part so it was more fun to shoot the commercial. 
I also worked with my community on The Keep Evansville Beautiful project by cleaning up our streets. In addition, I helped the CSI by assuring at the ticket counter for a cultural event.  
This September, I will be walking a fashion show during New York Fashion Week.
