Miss America Opportunity

I am passionate about serving my community and making a positive impact in the lives of others. Competing for Miss Michigan allows me to continue to advocate for mental health and social emotional learning, while also serving a broader community.

As Miss Spirit of the State, I have the opportunity to raise awareness and advocate for causes that are close to my heart. The Sunflower Project stems from filling the gaps in funding, community and education surrounding mental health and social emotional learning. Our mission is to be preventative, not reactionary.

I believe in supporting and empowering the women who surround me. Each day I work to, I have been able to uplift those around me, listen to their stories and passions, and cheering them on every step of the way.

I have had the privilege of connecting with my community on a personal level through volunteering and networking. By building relationships and collaborating to create fresh opportunities, we lay the groundwork for opportunities and continued relationships that will benefit our community for years to come.

This experience challenges me to step out of my comfort zone, pushing me to grow personally and professionally. I am committed to embracing every opportunity for self-improvement and learning along the way.

From keynote presentations with international corporations, speaking to community service organizations, and presenting at schools statewide, I have been able to connect with people of diverse backgrounds. Through these opportunities, my confidence has grown exponentially while also being able to provide resources, support and positive conversations. 

I am dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in each avenue of my life. I am committed to celebrating and embracing the unique perspectives and experiences of individuals from all backgrounds.

The Miss Michigan community is incredibly supportive and inspiring. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and build a strong support network that will uplift me throughout this journey.

Above all, I am honored to have the opportunity to represent the spirit of all Michiganders as Miss Spirit of the State community on the Miss Michigan stage. Michiganders are known for their hospitality, compassion and grit. I am committed to embodying the values and the spirit of Michigan with authenticity, integrity, and pride, "opes" and all!
