In my free time I love letting my creative side out. I enjoy doing crafts of all sorts. I like to play with my American Girl Dolls. I will spend time playing with my pets. Lastly I like doing yoga with my mom.

What is your favorite family memory?

My favorite family memory is traveling to South Dakota. We went there for a wrestling tournament for my brother but we also got to view the main attractions. We went to Bear Country, that was a cool experience because we got to drive through where the bears were kept. There were bears walking very close to cars. We also went to Keystone where I got to zipline for the first time. We got to see Mount Rushmore.

Who do you consider a role model in your life and why?

My role model in my life is my mom. She is caring, supportive and smart. She works hard for her job. She is so supportive with helping me with school work, crafts, sports, and she even became a Girl Scout leader when no one else wanted to do it. She is there for me whenever I need her. She will drop everything to help my brother and I. I hope to be like her when I grow up.

Friendly – we have traveled a lot for wrestling and I always make new friends with other kids while waiting for our brothers to wrestle.

Helpful – I am always willing to stop and help others when needed. I will open a door for a person behind me. I will help my mom cook, clean and organize.

Thoughtful — I tend to always be thinking of others, which usually makes their day better. Every time I shop with my mom, I find or see things that I know others would enjoy.

My dad (Rafael Jimenz), my mom (Stephanie Jimenez), my brother (Izrael Jimenez. We have a dog (Spanky) and a cat (Luna). I also have 20-plus family members that live in town. My grandparents have businesses in Litchfield (Chito’s Ice Cream Truck and Carlson Repair).

What is your favorite event at the Litchfield Watercade?

My favorite event to attend is Art in the Park. I love walking the park and seeing the vendors. The creativity of homemade art always catches my eye.

Why do you want to be chosen to represent the Litchfield Watercade Junior Royalty?

Litchfield is my community. My family is from Litchfield. I want to make my family proud and I want to live out one of my dreams. At every parade when I see the princesses in the floats, I have wanted to be one of them. I want to represent Litchfield because I want to have the opportunity to motivate other young girls that they, too, can reach their dreams.
