Shelby Brown - Top Ten

1. Are you more afraid of the doctor or dentist?
"By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of others". This quote serves as a reminder to put 100% into everything and anything I do in life. It also serves as a beautiful reminder that the smallest things you do with love can impact a life.

2. If you could have a lifetime supply of anything what would it be?
With my community service being so fulfilling in my life, one of my pet peeves would be that I wish there were more hours in a day.

3. What’s the worst date you’ve been on?
As a full-time business owner, model, and CEO, I use two planners to schedule dates, meetings, deadlines, etc. I am a firm believer in organization for a productive life.

4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
It's been said that it's hard to pour into other people's lives unless you take the time to pour into yourself. One of my favorite ways to do that is by grabbing a book and a sun hat and enjoying the sound of the waves on the beach.

5. Is there anything about you that people are surprised to learn?
My dream job would be to live a lifestyle that brings happiness, fulfillment, and growth. There are several opportunities that fall under that: To share my platform, "Beyond the Pretty Face," so young girls can understand the importance of their inner beauty and what they have within; to continue to grow and strive to always be a better version of myself in everything I do; and lastly, to be the next Miss International.
