One of the very first things I did after Internationals last year was start designing this gown.

I remember sitting down with a vision and dreaming about what I wanted to wear if I ever had the opportunity to walk that stage again. Deep down, I just knew this year was going to be special.

A year later, seeing that sketch become reality and getting to wear it on the International stage is something I’ll never forget. Every crystal, every detail, and every change along the way made it feel even more meaningful.

This gown wasn’t just a dress to me, it was a reminder of how much can happen in a year when you keep believing, keep growing, and keep showing up.

I’ll always look back at this gown with the biggest smile. 💜✨

There’s something special about coming home. 🩵👑

Last year, I stood on the international stage as International United Miss Tennessee and finished as 1st Runner Up. I was so close to the dream I had worked toward for years… and while that moment was bittersweet, it reminded me just how much this system means to me.

IUM has always been more than a crown or a title.. it’s the sisterhood, the opportunities to serve, and the place where I’ve grown into the woman I am today.

So when this crown and sash arrived in the mail today, it felt like the beginning of a new chapter… but also like coming back home.

I’m so honored to be competing as National United Miss Iris State 2025–2026, and I can’t wait to continue sharing my heart for mental health advocacy, my Stigma Free Saturday Series, and serving alongside organizations like @kadaspromise as the Tennessee Ambassador.

Sometimes the path to your dream takes a few extra turns… but you’ll always find your way back home. ✨

I am absolutely overjoyed to have placed 1st Runner Up in the WORLD at @internationalunitedmiss!!! What an honor to stand among some of the most intelligent, kind-hearted, and purpose-driven young women from around the world. This week has been a dream I’ll never forget! 💫

Representing Tennessee on the International stage and sharing my heart, my mission, and my true, authentic self was a victory in itself. I poured every ounce of my journey into this, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far I’ve come. 💛

To my coach and mentor @pageantcoachingbybrandijo , thank you from the bottom of my heart for your endless support, compassion, and wisdom. You believed in me every step of the way, even when I doubted myself. I’m so lucky to have you in my corner. 💕

@the_hollysour and @thekrisann_evelyn , you are the definition of what makes IUM so special. Thank you for creating a week filled with memories, sisterhood, and empowerment. You go above and beyond to make every contestant feel seen and celebrated, and it shows. I love you both so much! 🌍👑

A huge congratulations to our new International United Miss, Destiny @iumwamiss! I am SO excited to cheer you on throughout your reign and support you every step of the way. You are radiant inside and out, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do. I was honored to be able to stand by your side tonight! 💖

To my sweet husband Colin, thank you for being my rock through every late night, rehearsal, and emotional moment these past few months. You were my biggest helper all week and my biggest supporter through it all. I love you endlessly. 🥹💍

And to my amazing friends and family, your love, prayers, messages, and encouragement have meant everything to me. I felt every bit of it this week, and I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you for lifting me up and believing in me every step of the way. 💌

Celebrating 2 years of our sweet Arthur! 🤍🐾

Two years of the funniest personality, the sweetest cuddles, and those beautiful mismatched eyes! He has brought so much love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos into our lives.

One of the sweetest parts of watching him grow has been seeing how much he loved his brother Chippy. They shared such a special bond, and it will always be one of our favorite things about Arthur. 🥹

Happy birthday to my favorite person, my best friend, and the love of my life! 🤍🥹

You are my biggest supporter, my rock, the BEST dog dad, the ultimate pageant hubby, and the person who is always right there beside me through absolutely everything. Thank you for believing in me, supporting every crazy dream I come up with, calming me down when I need it, celebrating every win with me, and loving me through all of it. I truly couldn’t imagine doing life with anyone else.

I’m so thankful for the life we’ve built together and for all the little things that make it ours. There’s no one else I’d rather laugh with, dream with, annoy for the rest of my life , or have beside me through all of life’s craziness. 🤪

I love you more than you’ll ever know. I hope today reminds you just how loved and appreciated you are.. not only today, but every single day. 🫶🏼 by @madisonehunt_

A verse that kept coming to mind throughout my journey preparing for IUM this year was:

“When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” 🤍

My biggest goal this year wasn’t necessarily to win a title. It was to push myself mentally, spiritually, and physically.. to become a better version of myself. Looking back, I truly feel like I accomplished exactly that.

I have so much love and admiration for the beautiful organization @the_hollysour and @thekrisann_evelyn have created. I loved every moment with my sister queens, and getting to design all of my main competition wardrobe made this year even more special. As bittersweet as it is, this was my final year competing as a Miss contestant, and I’m excited to see what God has in store as I begin a new chapter as a Ms.

I’m so honored to be taking home @pageantprints Rising Star Award in the Miss Division for excellence in Social Media Marketing and 3rd Runner-Up in the Miss Top Model Shoot. As a small business owner, receiving the Rising Star Award means so much to me! 🤪

Congratulations to the beautiful Abbey Cheek, our newly crowned @nationalunitedmiss! I can’t wait to cheer you on throughout your reign. 🫶🏼

Finally, thank you to my incredible friends and family who traveled all the way to Orlando to support me, and to everyone back home who watched the livestream, prayed, and cheered me on. Your love means more than you’ll ever know. A special thank you to @pageantcoachingbybrandijo for believing in me, pushing me to grow, and always being in my corner. I am so incredibly blessed. 🩵 by @madisonehunt_

Personal introduction went absolutely amazing! 🩵 I love getting to share my heart and my story, and I’m so grateful for every opportunity to connect with others through my journey.

I’m so proud of all of the incredible girls who conquered High Fashion Runway and Personal Introduction today! Watching everyone step outside their comfort zones and shine was so special.

Now it’s time for interview tomorrow, and I truly can’t wait! ✨

Also, can we talk about this suit?! @fernandowong_ x @winningwardroberesale brought my Cinderella Barbie dreams to life helping me custom design it. 👑
