Brownie Meeting

On Thursday 4/22 I visited a brownie troop and spoke about my platform, Empowering Youth. We talked about ways to stay healthy and take care of ourselves. Then I talked about the Miss Oakland County pageant and showed them my talent. The girls had some great questions for me. I had a lot of fun spending my afternoon with this group!

Speaking at the Kaplan's

On Saturday 4/17 I was invited to speak at the lovely Kaplan household for about thirty of their friends. I spoke about my journey as Miss Oakland County and what exactly the Miss America Organization is all about: style, service, scholarship and success! The audience had great questions and it was a great experience. Thank you to Lisa & Steve for inviting me!

Cinderella's Closet

Last weekend I (along with my teen) traveled to Bellaire, MI to work with Cinderella's Closet. We started our Saturday off with a luncheon with a few other queens-- Miss Bellaire and Miss Mancelona. Then we went to Cinderella's Closet for prom consultations!

Cinderella's Closet works like a library where girls can 'check out' dresses and accessories for homecoming or prom. We were able to consult with girls going to prom and we had a great time! It was so cool to see the looks on the girls' faces as they found a dress they really loved. A big thank-you to Debbie for having us. This was an incredibly rewarding experience and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it.

Miss Teen Michigan-World Pageant

Fellow judge Andrea Hernandez, Miss MI US Beauties.

On Saturday 3/27 I got a call from the director of the Miss Teen Michigan-World pageant, Christine. They were in need of a last minute judge, and I was able to fill in! I was shopping with my mom at the time and we left immediately and headed down to the pageant, which was held on the campus of Wayne State.

After a brief judge's orientation and a quick look over each contestant's bio, the interviews began! I had a wonderful time at this pageant. The group of people were so kind! Not to mention, the caliber of contestants was very high. I feel like I gained some perspective of what it's like to be a judge, which will ultimately make me a better competitor!


Congrats to the winner, Shelby Knafel!

Parker Elementary Classroom Visit

March is reading month! I had the opportunity to visit Parker Elementary's preschool class today and read a book as well as participate in some fun alphabet activities. The kids were very interested in my tap dancing so we practiced a few steps together. I had a great time!

Page's 15th Annual Chili Cookoff

WDIV Detroit's weatherman Paul Gross was a chili judge.

On Sunday 3/7 I attended Page's of Farmington's Fifteenth Annual Chili Cookoff. I tried more chili than I have ever tried in my life! I also got to choose some of the lucky raffle winners and mingle with the crowd. All of the proceeds from this event went toward Bountiful Backpacks--a Farmington organization that provides meals on the weekends for families with school-age children.

Here I am with another one of the judges, Mama Duck.
