Contestant's Statement
I could write a book about all that I’ve learned through my entire experience in pageantry. Title: WORTH IT. Regardless of each outcome I have never walked away empty handed & I know this year won’t be any different.
We are less than two weeks away so mark your calendars! May 28-29 at the Higley Center for the Performing Arts in Gilbert, AZ. I would love nothing
more than to see some familiar faces in the crowd ☺️ tickets are on sale now online & at the @higleycenter box office!
Thank you for all of the love and support over the years
*special thanks to @_michaelfranco_ for delivering my favorite headshot to date
We have faced some extremely challenging times as a profession over the last few years — on top of the challenges that are inherently a part of the job — but I’m proud to wear the badge over my heart and be on the front lines of impact.
Here are some fun mems from over the years! A few reminders in honor of this week:
- say thanks! It’s often a thankless job despite the long hours, holidays and family time missed, and a the ugliness we see and endure. Gratitude goes a long way
- be kind
- remember we are humans doing our best
