Though it has yet to be scheduled, she advanced to the Miss USA pageant.

"I'm very, very proud to represent Louisiana, the state, the culture, the people, and take it all in and prepare for Miss USA," she told the publications.

She volunteered at the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter before moving to Lafayette, where she fosters dogs from the animal shelter.
