Many girls prepare their whole lives for this one moment. For me, I see Miss USA as an opportunity to reach new and greater heights in the future.

I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality.

Ive gotten used to using individual lashes as well. A lot of girls will use strip eyelashes, but the glue comes out of each side and it gets messy. Individual lashes make your eyes look bigger and much more natural.

Ive never really been the type to dress up like the other girls do. Im more of a casual, relaxed kind of girl. More athletic.

Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.

Every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity.
