March is Reading Month!







The Big Day is here!!!



Tomorrow I leave for Las Vegas, so I decided the best preparation for me is going to speak
at a school. Miss USA is all about what you will be doing on the JOB. ( Speaking)....
March is Reading program has been implemented into many schools. I think it's so wonderful to teach children the importance of education at a young age.
Thank You Michigan for giving me so many Blessings!!!

On The Radio Before Miss USA!!!!

Hello!!!
I'm preparing to leave to Miss USA; I've had Radio Interviews almost everyday.
These interviews were a little different since most of them were done over the phone.
I've been talking about all the preparation I've done for Miss USA. One thing that I want everyone
to understand is that this is Miss USA and that once I leave things don't change. I've been trying to live my life as if I already am Miss USA. Waking up early everyday to start my regular routine. This is The biggest year of my life; and I know I'm Blessed to BE Miss Michigan USA.
I will be leaving in a few days. I have a lot of faith in God and that all things happen for a reason.
I don't know what's going to happen at the end of the three weeks, but what I do know is that I'm going in with NO Regrets and that I have done everything I could do to prepare myself to do my Best.
Thank you for all the support!!
Here's a list of all the Radio Interviews I've been doing. Maybe you can listen to one before I leave.

What a Special Day for Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

























Today I spent the entire day going to four different schools. It was so amazing.
I speak about things that are very near and dear to my heart. Preventing cancer by starting
"Good Habits" at a young age and goal setting.
It was so wonderful to see the different age groups and how they each react to
my talks about these things.
The best part about being Miss Michigan USA is the influence you have.
Usually after I give a speech a few children will run up to me and show me what goals they
have in life and what they want to become eventually.
I like to use real life experiences and talk about all the adversities I had to overcome to achieve
my goals. Every single time I go into a class I'm left more amazed at the reaction and the influence one has in this position. Today I walked into the cafeteria while the middle school was having their lunch break and the funniest thing happened; within 10 seconds I had the in-tire student body around me shouting and screaming. I just had to laugh because the teachers had to rescue me... Days like these are so worth Being Miss Michigan USA!

Preparing for Miss USA!!






I have been so busy lately...
There is so much involved in preparing oneself.
I have had fun in everything I have been doing to get ready.
I will be leaving for Las Vegas on March 26th.

At this point the most important thing is knowing what is important and
living a balanced life.

My favorite Part of Being Miss Michigan USA!!






















I get this question a lot, "what's your favorite part of being
Miss Michigan USA?"
Without a doubt it's a day like today.
This is what it's all about, talking to Children; our future-
about issues that I think are important.
Cancer Awareness and Prevention, as well as setting goals
and the importance of BELIEVING in your DREAMS!!
I was amazed at how receptive children are to listen and want to implement good habits.
I'm so excited because this is my platform,
I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago. Since then I have started a non profit called "Active for Life On Cancer." This is what it's all about, speaking about starting good habits while your still young.
