Mary-Marsha Riley - 3rd Runner-Up

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
The first things I see every morning are the adoring eyes of our dogs waiting patiently on me to rise and shine. They have taught me that every day brings a new adventure full of exciting opportunities for which I am exceedingly grateful.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Fortunate. I am married to my best friend. Without him, I would not have been able to step away from the practice of law and become a personal trainer. He knows my heart, and he knew my heart longed to change lives for the better.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Open your ears and fire up your taste buds! The City of Memphis will instill in you a love for all things Southern. Barbeque at The Rendezvous, a walk along the mighty Mississippi River, and an evening spent listening to blues will relax your mind and revive your soul!

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
I have learned to enjoy the journey. I take time to notice and appreciate my life being enhanced by the friendships, opportunities, and magical moments brought to me by this adventure called “pageantry.”

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
Hopefully, my husband and I will be parents. Our home will be filled with love, laughter, and support for one another and for our child. I also see the marriage of my fitness career and my passion to fight heart disease improving the lives of many people.
