Q: What was your initial feelings when you won Mr. Cougar?

A: I was just so excited when I won. It wasn’t about winning, it was mostly about having fun. I liked watched everybody else’s act just as much as I love performing.  It was a really great night.

Q: How long did it take you to learn the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby?

A: I’ve listened to Ice Ice Baby since I was a little kid. Every time it came on I would have to sing along.  I’ve known it since I was seven.

Q: Do you have any stage fright issues and what are your feelings right before you go on stage?

A: It’s not that I have stage fright, I was just nervous I would forget the lyrics, or something stupid like that. Even though I was nervous going out on the stage, after thirty seconds I get very comfortable on the stage.  It’s very fun to go interact with the crowd.

Q: You were the runner up last year, but won this year. So how was your preparation different from last year?

A: I knew what to expect going in, because I had done it the year before. It was pretty much the same thing.  Last year I was actually glad I didn’t win because I got a chance to do it all again.

Q: What is your favorite shape and how does it describe your personality?

A: I would say my favorite shape is a circle because I feel like my thoughts kind of, think in circles sometimes. I feel like something is always on my mind. Not in a bad way.  I just like to reflect on my day and things that are going on.  I feel like it’s contributed to my personality over the years.

Q: What is an unconventional goal you have in life?

A: I would want to own one of those little lemurs. I love lemurs, they are such cute little things.

Q: What is an accomplishment you are really proud of?

A: An accomplishment I’m proud of is going undefeated in basketball in 8^th grade. It was really fun, even if it was in middle school.  It was like reaching for old glory.  It was a blast because of the team.  I’ve never been on a team like that.  Usually basketball is a lot of work, throughout the years, but team never felt like work.  It was always fun.
