First Interview

On Tuesday, May 26th I was interviewed on WCHE 1520am by Michele Paiva on her program, Pulse.  Michele is a former Mrs. Pennsylvania International, so we had a lively chat about pageantry.  I managed to share a few thoughts about my platform "Arts for a Strong Community" with listeners.  Thanks to Michele Paiva for the opportunity!  Check out her website and the radio station.

A Dream Fulfilled

I am truly grateful to have been crowned Mrs. Pennsylvania United States 2009! When I think of the beautiful, accomplished, compassionate, intelligent women with whom I shared the stage I am honored and humbled (and still shocked) to represent the Keystone State. Each and every day, I will strive to use this opportunity to make a positive impact in the community.

Congratulations to Ginny Meerman, the stunning new Mrs. Maryland United States, who was crowned at the same pageant. Vegas, here we come!!
