My heart is overflowing after such a remarkable weekend. I was sent off to Miss America in the most beautiful way possible - surrounded by some of my absolute favorite people. To every single person who showed up, cheered me on, and poured into this weekend - thank you. Your love, time, and energy mean the world to me, and it is not lost on me how blessed I am to walk into this next chapter with such an incredible village behind me. I truly don’t know how I got so lucky to be surrounded by so many phenomenal women who I’m grateful to call friends, a family who lifts me up endlessly, and sponsors who believe in me and invest in this journey so wholeheartedly. Each of you has played such an important role in preparing me for this moment, and I hope you know just how deeply I carry your love with me. This weekend was a reminder of how powerful community is, and I could not be more thankful to have each of you by my side. With my heart so full, I feel more ready than ever to step onto the Miss America stage and make you all proud.
