Oklahoma Hemophilia Walk

This year, as Miss Broken Arrow's Outstanding Teen, I was appointed "team leader" of a walking team for the Oklahoma Hemophilia Walk. The OHW raises money to support furthering research and development of Hemophilia at the national level. I was able to gather up 12 people to support this cause, and our team raised over $1,500. I'm proud to say the walk was a huge success and together Oklahomans raise over $88,000 for the Oklahoma Hemophilia Foundation.

Official Appearance at the School of the Arts

As this is my first year holding a teen title, I have been so excited to get to do official appearances. Recently, I was asked to speak at my former vocal coach's School of The Arts. I was honored to speak to two different groups on two separate nights. I talked to them about my platform Hemophilia Education and Leadership Program and the significance that the Miss Oklahoma's organization holds in my life. This was extremely special to me since I have always dreamed of being a part of this organization and now I am finally beginning to live my dream of competing at the state level.
