My platform is called “Embracing Me.” It is about helping young women struggling with body image issues and fulfill their potential by building positive body confidence and self esteem. For years I struggled with Body Dysmorphia Disorder. It all started my senior year of college. I was self conscious of my own appearance and what others would think. I wore clothing that would hide the features I was ashamed of. I remember I would go a day or even 2 without eating to try and lose weight. Last year I finally was able to overcome my insecurities and now I embrace me! With my platform I am partnered up with the company Dove focusing on the Self-Esteem Project and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Foundation. As an ambassador for the companies I am providing resources and help to those who may be suffering from low self esteem.

During my free time, I enjoy being a part of my community. I host body confidence seminars in local community centers, YMCA, and schools. I encourage young adolescents to start practicing self love now so when we come to a mature age we feel our most true authentic self. It has been so rewarding knowing I get to spread awareness on my platform to Empower women, Inspire other, and Uplift everyone! 

I am honored and blessed to have received the title of USOA Miss PA 2024. I am excited to spend time with my sister queens and USOA queens across the states. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on my journey and who continue to give their support.
