I survived addiction and came back stronger! I’m ready to turn my scars into strength, bring Halloween magic to life, and show the world

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
The best Halloween memories aren’t made by watching the scares—they’re made by BEING the scare! I live for the screams, the jump scares, and the moment terror turns into laughter!
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’ve survived battles scarier than any horror movie! I’m smart enough to spot the red flags, fierce enough to fight back, and stubborn enough to NEVER go down without a fight! The killer better run out of sequels before I run out of fight!
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d turn $13,000 of Halloween luck into a real-life blessing! I’ve fought hard to rebuild my life, and I’d use this opportunity to help my family, ease financial burdens, and show that sometimes the scariest stories have the most beautiful comebacks.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My daughter is my hero. After everything my addiction put her through, she never stopped being strong or looking out for her mama. She’s a fighter with a heart of gold and a protective streak a mile wide. Put us in a horror movie, and the killer won’t be hunting us… WE’LL BE HUNTING HIM! Mess with her mama, and you’ll meet TWO women you should’ve never crossed!
