Thank you for finding my page.

Here is how I got here. 

I have always been a proponent of living a healthy and active lifestyle. 

As an avid runner; I have completed 32 half marathons in 12 states, even running one race when I was close to 23 weeks pregnant, and 6 marathons to date. In January 2017, I completed the Dopey Challenge at Disney World where I ran a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon in four consecutive days.

I also compete in pageants and one of the most important parts of pageantry is your platform. 

My love for pageantry, running, and my family all came together when both of my parents faced separate, and unrelated heart conditions a few years ago. One parent was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the other had open-heart surgery to replace the aortic valve.

This required not only educating myself about both of these conditions but action. I needed to have an echocardiogram, which thankfully showed no cause for concern at this time. Education and action lead to activism and here I stand today with the goal, along with the AHA to eliminate preventable cardiovascular disease, support research, and advocate for equity in our healthcare for ALL women and men. 

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.
