June 1st means it is officially Miss Florida Month! 🤍✨

It’s hard to put into words just how much this season means to me. In just a few short weeks, I’ll have the incredible honor of representing Northeast Florida on the Miss Florida stage.

This journey has challenged me, shaped me, and introduced me to some of the most inspiring people. It has taught me confidence, resilience, and the importance of using my voice to make a difference. Every lesson, every opportunity, and every person who has supported me along the way has helped bring me to this moment.

As I prepare for Miss Florida, my heart is filled with gratitude and excitement. Representing the community I love on such a prestigious stage is a privilege I will never take for granted. I cannot wait to give this experience my all and make Northeast Florida proud.

Here’s to the start of an unforgettable month. 💫👑 by @missnortheastfl

It’s finally here 🤍✨

My new website is officially live!! Launching my website today feels so special, because this has been on my mind for a long time… and now it’s real. I’m especially excited to share my blog — a space I’ve been so passionate about creating, where I can be more open, creative, and intentional with everything I share. From personal stories, to everything nutrition related, I cannot wait to continue to share love and light through this platform. Link is in my bio!

Take a look, explore, and stay tuned for more 🤍

So grateful to @digit.eli for bringing this vision to life!! by @missnortheastfl

Falling back in love with fitness ❤️

During my eating disorder recovery, my relationship with fitness changed completely. Today, I get to move because I want to, not because I feel as though I have to to change my body. As someone in the dietetics field, I’ve learned that wellness is so much more than how we look; it’s about how we nourish, move, and care for ourselves.

Fitness has become one of my favorite phases of competition because I get to show others just how far you can come when you choose recovery ❤️ by @missnortheastfl

Getting more stage shots back from Miss Florida has me wishing I was back dancing on stage! ❤️✨

I wanted to take a moment to give a special shoutout to my incredible sponsor, Pandora’s Box Design, for creating my custom dance costume for Miss Florida this year. Mrs. Donna is truly so talented, and it was an honor to wear one of her beautiful designs on the Miss Florida stage.

Beyond her incredible craftsmanship, she’s an absolute joy to work with. Thank you, Mrs. Donna, for believing in me, supporting my journey, and bringing my vision to life so perfectly. I am so proud to wear your designs and incredibly grateful to have had you in my corner this year. Everyone go check her out for your next competition! ❤️ taken in Lakeland, Florida by @missnortheastfl

Celebrating 90 years of the Miss Florida Scholarship Program was such an incredible honor. ✨

Being in the room with the women who have shaped this organization’s legacy was a beautiful reminder that this experience is about so much more than a crown. It’s about service, sisterhood, and the lives we have the privilege of impacting.

So grateful to have been a small part of this milestone celebration. Here’s to 90 years. 🥂🤍 taken in RP Funding Center by @missnortheastfl

Second runner up to Miss Florida 2026✨

This week, I had the incredible honor of representing Northeast Florida on the Miss Florida stage, and I am beyond grateful to have been named 2nd runner up.

To everyone who believed in me, prayed for me, encouraged me, sent a message, showed up, or simply cheered from afar, thank you. I have never felt so loved or so supported. Every conversation, every hug, and every kind word reminded me how incredibly blessed I am.

I came to share my heart, to advocate for a cause that has become my life’s purpose, and to serve in every way I could. If this week taught me anything, it’s that purpose is never determined by where you place, it is determined by the lives you choose to impact.

So many thank you’s to come, but for now a big congratulations to @missalexandraderoos on being our Miss Florida 2026!! I can’t wait to support you during your reign.

Miss Florida, thank you for another year that changed me. I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunity to represent Northeast Florida, and I cannot wait to see where this journey leads next. 🤍✨ taken in Lakeland, Florida by @missnortheastfl

And they were roomates🤞🏼🫶🏻

Rooming with Emma has been such a highlight of my Miss Florida experience! I genuinely can’t imagine sharing this with anyone else. It’s crazy to believe we’ve already had our last sleepover this week. I’m just so grateful for every late night, injury, musical song, spray tan, and sweet moment we have shared. Thank you for being the incredible woman and sister you are. taken in SpringHill Suites By Marriott Lakeland by @missnortheastfl

I had the best time taking the stage last night in fitness and evening gown for the second night of preliminary competition!

It was even more special getting to share the stage with my five amazing Florida Sunshine’s. Each one of these girls has made this week even more memorable, and getting to watch them experience the magic of Miss Florida has been such a gift.

My heart is so full 🤍🤍 taken in Lakeland, Florida by @missnortheastfl

Tonight, I have the honor of stepping onto the Miss Florida stage for my favorite phase of on stage competition, Evening Gown. ✨

There has always been something so special to me about evening gown. It isn’t just about the dress you wear, but how you feel wearing it.

This year, I chose a gown that feels like me. One that reflects who I am, the journey that brought me here, and the confidence I’ve found through every challenge, every lesson, and every dream I’ve dared to chase. When I put it on, I don’t feel like I’m trying to become someone else, I feel like the most authentic version of myself.

No matter what happens, I get to walk across that stage with a full heart, knowing every step represents years of growth, purpose, and unwavering faith. This has always been my favorite night, and I can’t wait to soak in every second of it.🤍

Huge thank you to @carlosvelezstudios for capturing this incredible photo of one of my favorite gowns. by @missnortheastfl
