AO.-I have so many great memories, but one of the most important is when I did a fashion show for kids and teenagers which are HIV positive.  I know I will remember that till the end of my life.  Other fashion show that will stay in my memory forever is when we did a fashion show for American Cancer Society in which we had to do a runway walk with ladies which have survived breast cancer, and who still fight against this disease.  I did many shows for Gene Roye, Louise Fera, St Jones, Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hillfiger.  I was on covers of Palm coast Fashion Magazine, 2002 Edge Swimsuit Catalog, San Marco Magazine and many others.

MB.-What are you expecting from Miss Tourism International?
