Make sure to follow the Miss Saginaw County page to keep up with my new adventure 🥹🩷👑

Northern Michigan (and visitors), this one’s for you!

The Fourth of July falling on a Friday made for a whole weekend celebration! The worst part? Returning all of those cans and bottles! Now that it’s the week after, let me help you clean up and give back while doing it. 🥤

I am hosting a can and bottle drive starting now through the end of next week!

Proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association and Miss Michigan scholarships, so your empties will go toward something full of heart.❤️

I am available for porch pick up from Mancelona all the way to Petoskey! Reach out if you’d like to donate, and I’ll take care of the rest!♻️

No bottles or cans but still want to donate? Message me for the direct donation link!

Spending the afternoon visiting the Boys and Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore yesterday has been the highlight of the week. 💜

We got to meet the boys and girls, spend time on the brand new dock, participate in cardio drumming, play games, read books, and create crafts!

For me, the best part was meeting the sweetest little girl and turning it into a mentorship opportunity for her. She even wore my sash while we cardio drummed! I asked her if she would ever do Miss America. She said probably not. When I left, I asked her again if she would ever think about Miss America. She said yes, she wants to do it when she gets older. 🥹

It’s moments like these that remind me what it’s all about. The combination of my service initiative She Is Her Own Hero and the iconic Miss America brand make for an opportunity for youth to truly see themselves as Miss America.

Jenae, Miss Michigan 2024, shared with us earlier this week that not everyone will get to meet a Miss America or even a Miss Michigan (especially in rural, underrepresented towns like the one I come from) in their life. Because of that, WE as the local titleholders are their Miss America experience. I am happy that I got to be hers and that I get to be the Miss America experience for girls of all backgrounds, especially small towns.

Thank you to the Boys and Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore for welcoming the class of 2025. 🩷
