"I’m really grateful for the opportunity I had at Vanderbilt to explore various different internship placements so I could really get a comprehensive look at what my career might be."

"I thought to myself, I have heels, I play the piano, I could do a pageant."

"It’s really important to me to use this newfound privilege in a way that builds up communities that expands those villages for children everywhere who are in situations like I was in."

"It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice."
