A little update on my Miss USA journey 🤍✨
After a lot of thought, I’ve decided not to submit for the Miss USA Open Call this year ⬇️
The reason is simple: I respect and value the Miss USA organization so much that I wouldn’t want to step into that opportunity unless I knew I could give it my absolute all. A dream this big deserves preparation, intention, and my best effort. 🤍
This year was my first time competing in 8 years, and after wondering if I had missed my chance, I walked away reminded of how much I truly love pageantry. I’m so grateful for the experience, the friendships, and the reminder that this dream is still very much alive.
I’m excited to spend this next season continuing to grow, practice, and refine — and hopefully come back in 2027 ready to give it everything I have. ✨
I also want to say THANK YOU to everyone on here for the encouragement, cheers, and motivation. It’s been really fun sharing this adventure.
Most importantly, I cannot wait to cheer on all of the incredible women representing their states at Miss USA this August.
The dream isn’t over. I’m just enjoying the journey. ✨
