Just one week until my interview for Miss Maryland 2024! 🌟 This job is a dream 6 years in the making, and there are so many people who have shaped and supported my journey. While only the judges will get to be a part of my interview next week, I wanted to share here my story and my why for this job with all of you. I love Maryland with my whole heart and it would be an incredible honor to represent the state I call home while sharing how the Miss America Opportunity has shaped me into the woman I am today. See you in Hagerstown! 💛👑
