Billie Papuchis - Top 16

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
Determination is in my blood! Growing up I was a year around athlete, heavily involved in extra circular activities, and a classical ballet dancer since the age of five. Bringing 4 little humans in this world, they make me try harder everyday. As a parent, my goal is to lead by example and to provide our children with a caring and loving home. Each day I strive to guide, encourage, and support them to dream big.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Waking up, packing our bags and heading off to a surprise trip! Our family loves to travel and I love surprises. A Disney cruise has been a big wish for our family for some time and we can’t wait to surprise them this spring! Once they see that ship with their grandparents waiting with open arms, it will be a perfect day! Creating those memories big and small are perfect days in my book!

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Every act of kindness, big or small, has a ripple effect changing and touching many lives. I created my own Random Acts of Kindness group, anonymously donating over $6000 back into our community with small acts of kindness. Paying off a wedding gown, thanking our veterans with notes, or spending time with seniors are small examples our ripple effect has created. These actions have a big impact to not only the receiver but to the giver.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
My cell phone!!! In this day and age your cell phone holds so many pictures, videos and memories. I use it daily to advocate for my platform Girls on the Run, record our babies first steps, and also order our Friday night pizza!
