It is finally starting to sink in that we won Miss Montana USA!!! I say “we” and not “I” because I did not get here alone. It truly did take a village to prepare me for the crown, and I have many people to thank who helped me get here. It is going to take a few separate posts to thank everyone, but let me start start by saying THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH to…

Maureen Francisco, David Van Maren, and Pageants NW NW Productions family... I love you all already! It was such a pleasure getting to know you all during pageant weekend. Thank you all for putting in countless hours behind-the-scenes to ensure that we all had an amazing experience and looked our best on stage. I can’t wait to work with you all this year and make the absolute most out of my reign. I know we will do great things together!

Our judging panel… Thank you for awarding me with the utmost honor of representing Montana as your Miss Montana USA 2022. As we discussed in my personal interview, I know that this is a job that comes with duties and responsibilities, a job in which I am fully prepared for and ready to hit the ground running with my goals.

Pageants NW Sponsors… Thank you for believing in all of the Pageants NW titleholders. We would not be here without your generosity. I am looking forward to working with you all individually throughout this next year!

To be continued…
