“There She Is, Miss America.” 
Those are the words my dad greeted me with nearly every morning as a little girl. Long before I understood what it truly meant to be Miss America, he made me believe that perhaps this organization was always meant to be part of my story.

At eight years old, I joined the @floridasunshineprogram, where I learned the value of servant leadership and the power of using your voice with purpose. I grew up looking to women in this organization who embodied all of the qualities I hoped to one day possess, never knowing just how profoundly their examples, and this organization, would shape the woman I became.

The Miss America Organization has changed the course of my life, and the people within it have left an imprint on me that I will carry long after I ever wear a sash or crown. To now stand on the Miss America stage representing the state I have loved my entire life, and the people who make it so extraordinary, is a privilege I will never take for granted.

Tonight, I get to live the dream that little girl imagined all those years ago. Tonight, I grace a Miss America Organization stage as a delegate for the last time. Whatever happens when I step onto that stage, I already know how fortunate I am to have made it here and I remain forever grateful for the opportunity and the reminder that sometimes our wildest dreams can come true. 

Florida, I hope I’ve made you proud. It has been the honor of my life to represent you. ❤️
