BM: Thanks for joining us today. Why don’t we start by you sharing a bit about yourself.

OLIVIA: I am 20 years old. I grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island. As the smallest state, Rhode Island definitely has a bit of a small town feel to it. It is nearly impossible to go through a day in the city of Providence without seeing a few familiar faces! I was raised in a rich musical surrounding with both of my parents having begun their professional lives as musicians. My four siblings and I grew up playing different instruments. The cello is what stuck for me, and I have been playing for fourteen years. I went to an all-girls school which taught me the importance of being a leader and role model for others.

BM: How does it feel of winning the Miss USA 2012 title? What are your unforgettable memories during the competition?

OLIVIA: Winning the Miss USA 2012 title is an unbelievable honor. I cannot wait to work closely with the charities tied to the Miss Universe Organization and to be a role model for girls around the country. My most unforgettable memory of the pageant was when I received the "Twitter" question for my top 5 question. I had no idea what to expect.

BM: We are very impressed in your performance during the Miss USA 2012 Preliminaries and Final night. What made you a standout in this competition?

OLIVIA: Since my first pageant was just this past September, I did not know as much about the pageant system as other contestants in the competition. I loved that this was my first year of pageantry because everything was very new and interesting to me. Being able to experience all of this in just one year is an absolute dream come true.

BM: How would you describe a typical day in your life?

OLIVIA: There has yet to be "typical" day in the first 2 weeks as Miss USA. The past two weeks has mostly consisted of media and charity events around the city. But I can tell you my favorite part has been exploring the amazing city of NYC!

BM: Aside from winning the Miss USA 2012 title, what is your best accomplishment so far? Proudest moment?

OLIVIA: Aside from winning the Miss USA 2012 title, my proudest moment was winning the Miss Rhode Island USA title this past September. Since this was my first pageant, I had no idea how I would do. I was so shocked and honored to have won on my first try. I was also so happy to be a part of the amazing Miss Rhode Island Pageant family.

BM: Who or what inspires you to win this competition?

OLIVIA: I would love to have a career in the entertainment industry. Halle Berry, Giuliana Rancic, and Maria Menounos are all successful women who have participated in the Miss USA pageant system that I look up to. I was also inspired to win as a chance to be a role model for others. I know finding someone to look up to can be tough and I now have an amazing opportunity to be a leader for others.

BM: How would you define beauty?

OLIVIA: My quote from the Miss USA website reads "Beauty is defined in the way you treat others." I think that being a beautiful person and treating others with kindness reflects beauty just as much, if not more, than physical features.

BM: Can you share to us your beauty secrets?

OLIVIA: My favorite beauty secret is very simple - drink water! Staying hydrated is a great way to maintain clean skin and great physical shape.

BM: For you, which is the most important, physical beauty or inner beauty? Why?

OLIVIA: Inner beauty is absolutely more important than physical beauty. Inner beauty is something that radiates, no matter what your physical appearance is. Inner beauty is what can really make a difference in the lives of others which will never fade.

BM: How about your fashion sense and style?

OLIVIA: I love a classic style that is timeless but also trendy and relevant with the latest fashion trends

BM: If you will be granted three wishes from a genie, what would it be and why?

OLIVIA: In case I will met a genie and granting me three wishes, I would wish the following: 1) Stop world hunger; 2) End discrimination, and 3) Stop pollution.

BM: Since you will be representing the USA at Miss Universe 2012 pageant, what do you expect from the competition?

OLIVIA: I have no idea what to expect at Miss Universe. I am going to try and keep an open mind because I know it will be an experience like no other.

BM: For you, which comes first, family or career?

OLIVIA: Family comes before career for me. I think the only way to have a successful career is if you first have a solid foundation and upbringing. Your family is what provides this foundation, which makes them far more important.
