Birth Date: Nov 19

Please describe your unique qualifications that make you an ideal candidate for the CMT Summer Job:
I’m always wearing a smile! I thrive being in front of the camera, and behind it, the whole public eye thing energizes me to a new level. I earned an Honours Bachelor of Applied Arts in Media Studies, specializing in photography and public relations. I visited Nashville’s CMA Fest and sent live updates to my local country radio station. I appeared in several musical theatrical productions, have excellent organizational skills and have been the master of ceremonies for many large public events. My truck’s bumper sticker reads "There’s a girl in it!" and I know the Good Time line dance.

If you got to meet your biggest country idol, who would it be and what would you ask them/tell them:
Alan Jackson. I’d tell him I know what it’s like to be the tall one! What are his most memorable concert moments? At what point did he realize how successful he had become? I would congratulate him on a honourable career and most importantly, I would simply say thank-you.
