Local Pageants 2013

As Miss Grand Lake's Outstanding Teen, I have had the opportunity to attend many different local pageants to support the contestants competing for titles and get to know my 2013 MOOT family even better. Over the past two weeks I attended Miss Creek County and Miss Tulsa State Fair's Outstanding Teen 2013. I am so excited for Claire and Jordan! It is such an honor to have new sisters added to the MOOT family every year. Here are a few pictures that I took when I attended the pageants. 

MOOT 2012 Recap

Miss Oklahoma's Outstanding Teen was in June of 2012. This was my first time going to MOOT.  This was an exciting experience. I made new friends, learned new things and had a lot of fun! I was a great honor to represent my home town at a state pageant being Miss Broken Arrow's Outstanding Teen 2012. Even though I did not make the top 11, I still had a blast. This was an absolute great experience and I cannot put into words how excited I am to get to go back this next year!

Miss Grand Lake

First of all, I just want to say how beyond excited I am to have won Miss Grand Lake's Outstanding Teen and have the opportunity to go back to Miss Oklahoma's Outstanding Teen. Having this title will allow me to continue to have more opportunities that will allow me to spread the word of Hemophilia. I am looking forward to attending a health fair in September and a few more appearances that will inform people about my community. As this pageant year goes on I am excited that I gradually get to welcome teens to the MOOT family of 2013.

Thank You Sponsors! - Hemophilia Preferred Care

I want to give a special thank you to Hemophilia Preferred Care group for helping support me through salute page ads, sponsoring my team for the Oklahoma Hemophilia Walk 2012, and providing me with extremely valuable information to further the Hemophilia Education and Leadership Project. Because of you, I am helping to help educate students around the state on this disease, the risks, and how they can get involved to raise awareness for those who are suffering. 

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. 

My year at dance competitions... so far!

I am  part of Infinity Dance Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Infinity's Competitive Dance Team has been to two competitions already this year.  I have been so blessed and excited that every one of my dances has placed in the top ten! My solo has recieved a 3rd over all in my age catagory and then a 6th overall for the 15-16 age catagory in the second competition. I also recieved a 2nd over all in TOP Entertainer! We will be competing in Nationals in the month July. I am looking forward to sharing my passion on the Miss Oklahoma's Outstanding Teen stage this June! Hope to see you there!
