The Miss America Opportunity has brought so many incredible people into my life, and I’m so grateful for every friendship made, every memory shared, and every person who has made this experience so meaningful. From the girls who have become sisters to the people who have cheered me on along the way, this organization has given me so much more than I could have ever imagined.

Being crowned Miss Randolph County’s Teen 2027 is such an honor, but getting to share this journey with such amazing people is a blessing all on its own. Here are a few photos from right after the pageant!

Felt like this one deserved a permanent spot on the feed😉

In honor of Miss America’s Got Talent tonight, I wanted to share my Miss NC Teen talent performance to “A Moment Like This”. I truly have never been prouder of a performance, and having this be my last one on this stage was truly a highlight of my journey.

My biggest thanks goes to my wonderful choreographer @allisonlanderr . Thank you for always believing in me and pushing me far beyond anything i ever thought i was capable of. Sharing this experience with you has been such a privilege and thank you for always being my biggest cheerleader.

I hope you all enjoy this performance as much as i did🤍

Four years old feels like yesterday.
When I started dance as a little girl I had no idea how much dance would shape the person I would become. Now it’s hard to find the words to say goodbye.
When God puts you where you belong it becomes homE. @expressionsdance5678 has been so much more than a place to dance. It has been my second home, a place where I’ve celebrated victories, learned from disappointments, laughed until I cried, and created memories that will stay with me forever. Every class, rehearsal, recital, competition, and late night has helped me grow not only as a dancer but as a person.
To my teachers, thank you for believing in me, challenging me, encouraging me, and helping me become the dancer I am today. Thank you for making me feel seen and valued. Your love and support have meant more than you’ll ever know.
To my dance family, thank you for being my biggest supporters, my teammates, and some of my closest friends. We’ve shared so many unforgettable moments together, and I will always cherish every laugh, every hug backstage, every happy tear, and every memory we made.
As I turn the page to a new chapter, I carry everything this studio has given me with gratitude. No matter where life takes me, I will always be proud to call this my homE.
Forever grateful. Forever a part of this familE❤️

Nothing ever truly prepares you for when you have to do your favorite thing with your favorite people the last time. Leaving nationals with a sad but extremely thankful heart. It’s hard to believe 14 years ago I stepped into a dance studio for the first time and now I have competed at my last competition. God has blessed me with so many amazing gifts and dance has always been one of the sweetest. I dance not for myself but for him and his glory. I am forever thankful to have been blessed with the ability and passion for something so special.

None of this would have been possible without my family. The ones that never missed a competition or recital and always made me feel the most special. There is no better feeling than knowing that no matter what I will always have people that are proud of me. Mom and dad, thank you for always being my number one fans. Thank you for all the sacrifices and always seeing the best in me. Maye, thank you for always being the loudest cheer and biggest hug. I am so lucky to have someone that makes me feel as amazing as you do.

The highlight of my dance journey lies within these past three seasons and that is all thanks to @expressionsdance5678 Thank you for making these past couple years filled with unforgettable memories and some of the best moments of my life. Thank you for all the classes, support, training, and love you have given me. But most importantly thank you for providing me with the sweetest familE. I would not be the person or dancer I am today without you guys. Thank you for restoring my love for dance and believing in me always. All the support in the wings, encouragement in class, and love outside the studio are the things I will miss the most. I love you guys with my whole heart.

Dance doesn’t define me, but it did make me who I am by showing me who I was on the inside. It has taught me that talent doesn’t determine success, but happiness does. All the joy and happiness dance has provided me in these past 14 seasons is proof of that. This chapter of dance may be over but the journey doesn’t have to be. I can’t wait to see what great things god has planned for me and my dance journey!
