Mrs. Minnesota America

06/08/2025

Today is my last day as Mrs. Minnesota America 👑—a title that has meant more to me than words can express. As I take off the crown, I do so with a full heart, countless memories, and deep gratitude for my family, every moment, every person, and every lesson this year brought - persistence pays off and have faith in yourself.

To the new Mrs. Minnesota America—welcome to a journey like no other! May your year be filled with growth, grace, purpose, and pure joy. Shine brightly, lead boldly, and savor every step with your family by your side.

The crown may pass, but the sisterhood remains forever. 💖

Full circle moment! 💫 On Thursday, June 5th, I made my last appearance as Mrs. Minnesota America—right here in my hometown parade of City of Spring Lake Park!

What makes it even more special? Fun fact: I was the Junior Queen of Spring Lake Park in 1979! 👑

From a little girl waving in the parade to waving one last time as Mrs. Minnesota with Mike and Raina by my side, this moment was filled with pride, gratitude, and hometown love. Thank you, Spring Lake Park, for cheering me on then and now! 💖

I had the best time attending the First Comes Love bridal fashion show with Raina as Mrs. Minnesota America! The gowns were absolutely stunning, the atmosphere was electric, and the inspiration was endless! From dreamy lace details to bold modern designs, every look was a masterpiece...the icing on the wedding cake was wearing over 100k worth of REAL diamonds and pearls! Now that's getting the royal treatment!

So much love and creativity went into this event, and I feel lucky to have experienced it with my beautiful daughter! It's been almost 20 years since I've worn a wedding gown and was so happy to have my wonderful husband Mike in attendance as well to see me as his bride again!

Thank you to Feroza Mehta , Jill from Brides of France and Rebecca Bell Sorensen for including us!

Today we celebrate the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day!

This is celebrated annually in all 50 states with community events, award ceremonies and celebratory activities. I was honored to be invited as Mrs. Minnesota to the Minnesota History Center by the Minnesota Coalition of Women in Athletic Leadership to join today’s program to recognize amazing individuals throughout the state of Minnesota who promote and support girls and women in sports!

It was definitely a special moment when the First Lady of Minnesota Gwen Walz read the proclamation from her husband Governor Tim Walz officially declaring today "Girls and Women in Sports Day" in Minnesota.

As a mother to a teenage daughter who is an active participant in the sport of swimming, I'm continuing my advocacy during my year as Mrs. Minnesota to continue promoting the amazing physical, social and leadership skills sports foster in young women along with promoting the free, downloadable curriculum for parents and coaches at coachingher.com and bodyconfidentsport.com.

Congratulations to the honorees - well deserved indeed! For more information on the amazing individuals recognized today, please visit https://www.ngwsd-mn.com.
