I had an absolute blast at Miss Minnesota!! To be a part of an organization that is so selfless is a true blessing! I am honored that I got to share my first experience at Miss MN with such wonderful women who are servers for their community and their state! The opportunities presented to us during the week of Miss MN were incredible! Gillette, IHOP, Open Arms, Lillihei Heart Institute and the Capitol were amazing!!! We even got to spend the whole week with Miss America's Outstanding Teen, Rachel Wyatt! She was a hoot and a half, full of grace and poise and I am so blessed to have met such a lovely young woman!
I was named the Overall Talent Winner for Non-Finalists! I can't tell you how much this means to me! I am so very grateful to have such a support system behind me! A HUGE congrats to Rebecca Yeh, Miss Northwest, on being crowned the new Miss Minnesota 2013!! You will do absolutely wonderful at Miss America, I am sure of it!
I am so thankful for having the opportunity to be your Miss Moorhead 2012 and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for all of you! I do this job because I love it! You have all blessed me and I hope that my year so far had blessed you! I am excited to be entering the summer season because that means so many more parades and pageants to attend!
Peace and Blessings!!
