From parades to masquerades. This was my first masquerade ball I’ve attended thanks to @thecrownedcollectivehawaii ✨

I always kinda dread the doing the full makeup look for myself because it’s such a long tedious process but then I get to look like the queen that I am when they roll out the red carpet! I can certainly say this is not the traditional path I ever expected to be in at this stage in my life but I’m loving all the surprises and magical twists and turns. 🤩

Wanted to post these beautiful shots before I forget bc next week starts our Manifest Magic retreat and I will be fully immersed in that here in Bali baby! ❣️

Living the full spectrum of life. From heels to barefoot nandid, the contrast is what makes it so interesting sometimes. 👑

Truly honored to receive the Community Service Award! My heartfelt thanks to my family, friends, and everyone who nominated, voted, and continues to support me. ❤️

Proud to represent the @unitedusanationalpageant & @unitedusahawaii.usanation , where beauty goes beyond the crown through advocacy, purpose, and giving back to our communities.

Bringing together different pageant systems and vendors to share valuable resources for the pageant community! Thank you for bringing this community together @thecrownedcollectivehawaii ❤️✨

In a world where comparison can sometimes lead to tearing each other down, it’s important to remember that, at the end of the day, we are all human. Pageantry is about so much more than competition. It’s about growth, community, lifting each other up, and working together.

Hawai‘i is such a small community, and I truly believe that we can achieve something even greater when we choose unity.

Clapping for someone else will never dim your own light. When we celebrate one another, we shine even brighter together. ✨

What a privilege to be part of an event that brings people together and reminds us of what this community can become when we support one another.

Congratulations to all the nominees and awardees! 🏆❤️ You all work so hard, and may God bless you all as you continue pouring into others and making a difference in our community.

Here’s to a stronger, more united Hawai‘i pageant community! 🌺👑

One of the most glamorous nights in Hawaii pageantry! @thecrownedcollectivehawaii 👑

The 2nd Annual Crowned Collective Hawaii Pageantry Impact Awards was truly a night to remember! It was beautiful celebration recognizing the pageant industry in Hawaii and honoring the incredible individuals who make it what it is. Despite what some may think, Hawaii has a thriving and incredibly supportive pageant industry. I’m so proud to be part of this community.

To make the night even more special, I was incredibly honored to take home both Best in Evening Gown and Best Coach! 🏆✨ Mahalo to all that voted for me and supported me!

The Best Coach award holds such a special place in my heart because coaching has never been just about preparing someone for a pageant. It’s about helping people recognize their worth, find their voice, develop discipline, and become the best versions of themselves in life. At the end of the day, the greatest reward isn’t always the crown someone takes home. It’s the person that they become along the way. And that, to me, is the true beauty of pageantry.

Thank you to Crowned Collective Hawaii for creating a space that celebrates the people, passion, and impact behind this industry. Here’s to continuing to uplift one another and show the world the incredible things Hawaii pageantry has to offer!
