I competed in my first (and only) pageant when I was 14, and it was the Miss Texas teen USA pageant where I placed 4th! At that time I was a tom boy and was actually mad that my mom entered me!!
What made you decide to compete for Miss Texas USA 2020?
I decided to compete for Miss Texas USA because I have changed so much, as we all have, and I was made for this!! I was made to push beyond my comfort zone and embrace all that life has to offer! My main goal for competing is to expand Young Life Capernaum into suburbs around the world! YL is a special needs ministry aimed to share the love of the lord!
Outside of competing in pageants, what do you like to do for fun?
I played collegiate volleyball in undergrad and currently love playing sand volleyball! I enjoy riding horses and attending Young Life events around the world!
Give a brief bio about yourself.
I graduated from Baylor university with my Masters in Speech and Language Pathology! I am currently a Speech Therapist working at Baylor Scott and white ICU!
If you win your stage title, what do you hope to accomplish throughout your reign?
If I won Miss Texas USA, I would immediately begin to spread the word of Young Life and how big of an impact it is on middle school and high school kids!
What is your dream job (besides Miss USA of course!)?
My dream job would be to continue my practice doing hippo/teletherapy around the world! Hippotherapy is Speech Therapy using horses, and teletherapy is online therapy! I would love to spread my knowledge and continue to learn in every country!
