Oregon State University

MY COLLEGE KICKS ASS BECAUSE…

I love the positive atmosphere, the variety of people, and all of the amazing opportunities that would never have been available if I hadn’t come here! It’s honestly such an indescribable experience that you really couldn’t get anywhere else.

I MAJOR IN…

Business – fashion merchandising management. I want to achieve a well-paying job after I graduate (don’t we all) somewhere in this field, whether it’s modeling or working directly for a good company.

OH YEAH, AND YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW THAT…

I’m very into health and fitness. It’s definitely become a huge part of my life, and I’m so grateful to have obtained so much knowledge about it. You can find me at the gym at 5-6 days a week! Come squat with me! I’m always encouraging others to eat clean and showing them various workouts they can do to improve their overall wellness.

AT SCHOOL, I’M INVOLVED IN…

I actually work as a Sales Associate for Victoria’s Secret. I absolutely love the company and the people I work with. It’s been such an amazing experience, and I’m so lucky to have this job!

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?

Anywhere sunny and tropical! It’s usually rainy a good majority of the time in Oregon, so lounging under the sunshine in a cute little bikini on a white sandy beach at the edge of a warm ocean with some cold mixed drinks is my kind of get away!

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE MISS COED 2016?

I would love to be Miss COED 2016 not only to represent my school, but also to promote and encourage health and fitness towards all different types of people.

IF YOU COULD GIVE OUR READERS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I would say honestly just don’t give up. Whatever challenges you may have at the time in that point of your life, you’ll overcome them. Whether it’s school, work or even fitness related, everyone has challenges, and it’s not always easy. Just remember you aren’t alone. Stay humble and keep a positive attitude because whatever it is you’re going through, not only will you’ll get past it, but it will also be worth it.
