Soaking in some sun before the 1 week @missusa countdown! Thank you @beautybydrkay for helping me protect my skin with your amazing moisturizer – needing that SPF from the California sun.

A day late, but important post. For me, interview is one the most exciting and important parts of the competition. It’s an opportunity for this 2nd time pageant competitor to share more on my background, accomplishments, and my vision as a @missusa candidate. This role is so much more than the on-stage glitz and glam, it’s about listening, connection, taking action, driving change and love. It’s about being a positive role model and empowering spokesperson. I felt energized leaving my interview knowing I was able to speak to who I am and why this role is so important to me. More posts to come soon from prelims last night! Thank you for all the positivity & love! Head up, heart and confidence strong. Xx #missusa #RenoTahoe #misscausa #missuniverse

Official Miss USA headshots are live!! Wow, what a special moment. For someone who competed in their first pageant ever at @misscausa (yes, I promise that’s true!), it is truly surreal to see my face on the @missusa website representing the state of California. I am so honored to be on this journey, and to represent myself and my community on the national level. Thank you for the love, support and believing in ME! Grateful is an understatement.
