THOUGHTS ON UEM:
My experience with USA Elite Miss has been incredibly inspiring, especially due to our director, a selfless, kind-hearted individual who recognized my potential and dedication from the very start.

USA Elite Miss has queen that promote positivity, support and uplift each other which motivated me to represent UEM as a spokesperson, traveling both locally and all the way to France, and contributing to increased enrollment. I also want to express how much I appreciate the designer bags we received as rewards for our achievements!

WHAT IS MEANS TO BE CROWNED LIFETIME QUEEN:
My crown and title carry great power; as a role model for both young and old, I recognize the blessing in having the ability to help shape and transform lives.

But it’s not just the crown itself—it’s what lies behind it. It’s about the journey and what you choose to do with it.

I actively engage with the community, doing the work that plants the seeds, allowing that beautiful bloom to flourish both inside and out!

I am honored to have been chosen for such a prestigious award and am committed to fulfilling my duties, continuing to serve both my community and this incredible organization!
