Farmington Commissioner's Meeting

Today I attended and spoke at the Farmington Commissioner's Meeting (along with two of our contestants.) I spoke about myself, my platform, MAO and what we do! The contestants introduced themselves and spoke a bit about their platforms.



With Miss Michigan only a few weeks away (!) I have been working extra hard on everything and I am thankful for all of the people in my life who support me. I like to think that when I go onstage, I'll never be completely alone as I carry you all with me. THANK YOU!!!

Flower Fair

Today I attended the Flower Fair in Lake Orion. There was a great Beatles cover band and fun kid's activities--it was a fun event! Today I also spent some time collecting donations from local businesses for our Miss Oakland County pageant and for my basket (which will be raffled off at Miss Michigan for the scholarship fund!)

Mrs. Michigan United States Pageant

Last night I attended the Mrs. Michigan United States pageant! I also performed my Miss Michigan talent.

Mrs. pageants are for women who are married--This was my first time seeing a Mrs. pageant and I was impressed. Congrats to all of the wonderful women who competed and to the new winner, Kyla Marcial!

Girl Scout Visit

On my honor, I will try
To serve God and my country
To help people at all times...
And to live by the girl scout law


Once a girl scout, always a girl scout!

Today I spoke to girl scout troop 30089 about my platform, Empowering Youth. We talked about ways to stay healthy and take care of ourselves: internet safety, activities we do to stay healthy, how to make safe choices, and trusted adults we can turn to when going through a problem. Then I taught the girls a few tap steps and they showed me some animal yoga! Yes, animal yoga. You really can learn something new every day :-)

Flag Raising Ceremony

Today I attended the Flag Raising Ceremony held at The Baptist Manor in Farmington Hills. I had a great time singing American songs with the Baptist Manor residents and I was asked to address the crowd. It was a wonderful ceremony!

May is For Miracles--CMN Fundraiser

One of my first donations of the morning

May is for miracles! The month of May is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Children's Miracle Network--which inspired me to hold a fundraiser of my own. Today I raised money for CMN at Kroger in Rochester Hills. I shared information about CMN and passed out my pictures to kids...it was a great day and I feel great knowing that I generated funds for such a worthy cause!

96.3 WDVD Cares For Kids

On Thursday 5/6 and Friday 5/7 I attended the 96.3 WDVD Cares For Kids Radiothon at Royal Oak Beaumont! All proceeds from this radiothon benefitted the Children's Miracle Network, which is our national platform in the Miss America Organization. I was able to make visits to CMN kids on both Thursday and Friday along with some of the other titleholders. We had a wonderful time meeting these kids!

Here we are at Beaumont's Children's Garden. The entire garden was paid for by CMN dollars. It is space for kids to feel like they are really outside...there's sunlight coming through the windows and a ton of activities for the kids to do. I loved seeing exactly what CMN does to touch children's lives and I am so proud to be a part of this organization!

28th Annual Hunger Walk

Dogs can walk to fight hunger too! Here's my new friend Taco Bella.

Today I volunteered at and participated in the Hunger Walk of Oakland County! It was held at the Lighthouse of Oakland County in downtown Pontiac. I walked four miles and helped raise funds to end hunger. I had a great time at this event sponsored by Genisys Credit Union! Thank you to Linda Z. for inviting me!
