Miss Ohio week was nothing short of a fever dream.

I was not sure if I would ever return to the Miss Ohio stage. My life and career made quite a turn a few years back and I’ve been focusing on growth since.

But one day, I asked myself, what if I did it one last time? What if I took all this growth and put it on display for ME? What if I showed myself how much I have grown and can finally be proud?

So I did. I signed up for the Miss Chillicothe program incredibly last minute. I dug out my old pageant tote, found some last minute dresses, updated my resume, refined my talent the morning of, and showed up. I showed up to prove to myself that I can do hard things. And then I won. And not only did I win the title of Miss Chillicothe, but I won the interview award. That award was the exact growth I needed to prove to myself- that I have grown personally and professionally and it mattered! ->

And then I realized, I’m going back to Miss Ohio! One last time, with the best family and some of the best friends I’ll ever make. I bucked down. I chose authenticity this time, though. And now I can say, it was never about proving to myself that I had grown. I knew that all along. What I did need was to be reminded of the unwavering love and support I have from everyone I know and love. Gosh, even those I don’t know!

I am so incredibly grateful for the abundance of love I went into Miss Ohio week with. I am even more grateful for those that showed up and showed out. My fiancé, parents, in-laws, grandparents, and friends showed me the amount of love no crown could ever make me feel.

God knew I had more work to do close to home as Miss Chillicothe. I graced that stage with poise and authenticity- so much so that I don’t have a single regret. I loved my talent and the personality I (and my incredible vocal coach, Carla Wyant) were able to incorporate. I loved the confidence I displayed in the fitness and evening wear competitions. And best of all, I loved speaking about my career and passion. I spoke so fluently during my on-stage question and graced my private interview with so much authenticity that I won an interview award.

And that’s what it’s all about. It’s not abou

I recently had the opportunities to emcee for the Ada Farmers and Merchants Picnic Royalty announcements and judge the Henry County Tomato Pageant! 👑🍅

What an honor it is to pour the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years into the next generation of royalty. ✨

At face value, programs like this can sometimes appear to be centered around crowns, titles, and appearances. But having experienced the journey myself, I can attest that they offer so much more. These programs cultivate leadership, confidence, public speaking, poise, discipline, and the ability to carry oneself with grace- while creating lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories along the way.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help guide and inspire these young individuals as they begin their own journeys. 👑

I’ve been sure to soak up plenty of opportunities locally to make the most out of the time I have left with my title 🤍

Life since Miss Ohio has been about building a career I love! From weeks away at training to community policing centered events, things have been a little crazy, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Forever and always building that blue bridge! 🖤💙

No pursuit was necessary… this ride turned heads all on its own. 🚔🏁

A huge thank you to Dylan Legge for generously driving me in the Miss Ohio parade in his gorgeous Corvette Stingray! It was such a fun experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better ride or a better driver.

Thank you for taking the time to be part of such a special week and for helping make the parade even more memorable. I truly appreciate your support and generosity! 🖤

Miss Ohio Week Day 7 ✅

Tonight I watched my beautiful teen Miss Chillicothe’s Teen place first runner up to Miss Ohio’s Teen 2026 and I could not be more proud. This girl has put in so much work and represented Chilli beautifully. I am so proud. 🥹

We also toured the Ohio State Reformatory, and might I say, it was cell-sational!
