A DREAM COME TRUE!

clipped from msamericapageant.com Wow! This is my first week back home in Boston, Massachusetts —as Ms. America 2009-10!!  While I’m not sure it’s fully sunk in just yet, I have to say that being crowned this weekend was truly THE highest point in my life!  And—judging by the way my family reacted—probably one of their greatest moments too! I’m honored to have been chosen to represent the Ms. America organization as it follows my same passion of empowering and inspiring women to achieve their best. And I know that I’ll be able to foster that goal, since I'm a life-long advocate for inspiring others to be their very best and being a role model to others by leading by example!! Before I made it as a finalist, I had some great help: my pageant coach Elizabeth McGlynn of the Professional Pageant Preparation, LLC helped get me up to speed on all things pageantry, Stewart Smith Photography did a fantastic job on my headshots and my evening gown was a beautiful, handmade version inspired by the latest trends.
