Thanks to everyone for your messages of congratulations and support. I owe a great deal to the many volunteers who have guided me along the way, as well as to the many sponsors who have supported me in my quest. I send humble thanks to everyone—I couldn’t have done it without you!

And now the REAL fun begins. I have been very, very busy since my reign as Miss Virginia began, so I do not anticipate being able to keep my personal website updated on a regular basis. Thankfully the Miss Virginia Organization website is updated on an almost daily basis, so information about my appearances and activities can be found there for the next year. And who knows, in January you may be checking the Miss America Website to learn of my activities! Stay tuned…it’s going to be a busy and fun ride!
Meanwhile, I encourage interested parties to check the Miss Virginia website at the link below for all future updates on press releases, media coverage, and all my appearances.
