Whirlwind of a Week!

Hey Folks!

I have had such an amazing and stressful and crazy week! I hope this post isn’t too long and filled with tangents, but I have had a blast!

On a personal health level, my week has been hectic. Sunday night I had a dental emergency which led to me having to take the day off work Monday, have an emergency dental appointment, see a specialist, and schedule periodontal surgery. Not fun. Not fun at all.

Luckily, everything else this week has been great! I have been working toward my physical fitness goals thanks to Christina Phillips, my Beachbody Coach. I have had a few volunteer appearances, been finalizing plans for platform appearances, as well as setting up new events. I have been contacted by and have reached out to numerous news outlets about interviews. My Miss New York preparation has been underway, including talent rehearsals, headshots, gown fittings, shopping for other wardrobe pieces and more! I have also made a conscious effort to educate myself further on my personal platform, developing new workshops, gathering new materials, and compiling resources for others. More on all of this in a bit, but first, I wanted to highlight some other things that have been happening:

Photoshoot Sneak Peek!

Hey all!

Last Friday I had my official photoshoot for Miss Mohawk Valley by the fantastic Prints Charles Photography. I was simply astounded by the amazing studio, portfolio, and professionalism of my photographer, James (Jim) Caiola. Not only did he take many headshots for me to choose from for Miss New York, he also took a bunch of fun shots, modelling shots, and photos in my sash and crown. Today I received an email that my photos were online! They are only the proofs and I still have to go through and select those I wish to purchase, but I took a few samples to make a sneak peek album for everyone.

Check out my photos here!

With Warm Regards,
