Why do you go by the nickname Miss Daisy? I absolutely adore daisies. They are my favorite flower. They represent my personality. They’re wild flowers. They grow spontaneously. I consider myself a go-with-the-flow, go-with-the-wind kind of person.

And I understand you do some acting? I’m going to be the lead in my musical this year at Veritas [Christian Academy]. I will be Marian the Librarian.

What do you want to be when you grow up? My dream job…I would love to travel around the world and be a missionary. Or, I’d love to own a summer camp somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I went to a camp that inspired me to start my own.
