Miss Placentia

What a pleasure it was to be at the Swearing In Ceremony for the U.S. Army recruits. It’s amazing to see such a brave line of men and women serving and fighting for our country. Tonight I had the honor of starting off the ceremony by singing the national anthem. This event was so beautiful and dedicated towards showing respect for our army recruits. Thank you for your bravery and for the service you will give back to our country. Thank you Bridget Blehm for inviting me to tonight’s event. For the active duty army soldiers thank you for your service to the nation, may God continue to provide you all with protection.

Another national anthem performance in the books!

After taking some time to reflect on my experience at Miss California, I’m truly blessed that I had the opportunity to compete for the centennial title. Even though I didn’t earn any awards, I earned so many new friends and memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. This week was more than just a title but it was a chance to learn new things, make connections, and grow in different aspect of my life.

It’s and

This month of May is mental health awareness month. Mental Health and kindness go hand in hand. Staying kind to ourselves and others releases Oxcytocin in our brain chemistry, creating Dopamine and Seratonin, which cures depression and other mental illnesses. Because these problems are cognitive we cannot see when someone is affected by it, that’s why it’s always important to provide kindness and compassion to all. Instilling compassion in our every day lives supplies a healthier mindset. This week I encourage you all to to help someone who may be struggling.

Happy !

Thank you for your support and sponsorship towards my Miss California Ad page.

Thank you for your relaxing facials and lash lift.

Ulica Skin Care is a small local business in the Placentia community that does an amazing job with all things skin care.

Before kindness was my CSI, my first platform was homelessness. Growing up my family and I always attended to the less fortunate, so being able to attend a fundraiser gala for was very special for me. This fundraiser was only a small part of the tremendous work HIS House has done for the poverty population. Thank you for inviting and I to this beautiful gala. I hope to be more involved in this organization!

2024 Yorba Linda Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. “ - Romans 8:28

Yesterday morning I had the honor of singing the national anthem at the annual Yorba Linda Mayors Prayer Breakfast. This event is so special to me because community and business officials come together to listen in on a guest speakers testimony with the Lord. Hearing yesterday’s testimony, truly put me in awe and I feel so motivated because of it. Thank you Michael Weitzman for sharing your journey through life and relationship with God, we all wish you great success. Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful event.

Back when I was Miss Yorba Linda’s Teen a few years ago, I had the honor of singing the national anthem at a Labor Day service for the Blessed Sacrament Church. When I performed there, I remember seeing a lot of construction on their campus and back curious as to what it was. After speaking with Rev. Barrett, he informed me that it was an affordable apartment complex for low income or homeless senior citizens. The complex was partnered with the church and it houses 65 residents. Hearing this put me in awe, and after the past two years driving by the site, I finally got to see it in its beauty.

This morning I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for this beautiful complex. It truly was amazing to see so many organizations like , , and more support this amazing project.

A little bit about Santa Angelina Apartment Complex and its partners:
The service providers believe that both people and place matter in achieving community-wide well-being, concentrates on direct services, partnerships, and other resources right in the neighborhoods that need them most. At Santa Angelina, residents have access to programs and events focused on employment, social connectedness, in addition to health and wellness to break the cycle of generational poverty.

To learn more information check out and to read about what they do and the next steps they plan to take in creating more homes across orange county.

Thank you Rev Barrett for inviting me to this wonderful occasion, it was truly an honor.

Happy everyone!

Struggling provides growth, however, struggling isn’t easy. Kindness allows us to be supportive and compassionate towards individuals facing challenges. Kindness makes those challenges easier and often also helps provide growth. It’s important to understand everyone struggles, everyone messes up but you have the power to react to it the right way. Like I tell my students, choosing kindness is a superpower that we all have. Just like a superhero, use your power to help those who are struggling. This week I encourage you all to do one act of kindness for someone who is struggling.

It’s !!

Thank you for sponsoring an ad page towards my journey! You always do a great job on my nails!

Any Placentia or Yorba Linda native I definitely recommend coming to Ritz to get your nails done.

Heard we are sharing our MAO Journey, so I thought I’d hop on and share.

I started competing 6 years ago. I didn’t win my first title until a few years after. After being a teen for so many years to now being a Miss, I have learned a tremendous amount of values, skills, and lessons. Starting as a shy little 12 year old to now an 18 (almost 19) year old who loves public speaking and community outreach, this organization solely raised and broke me out of my shell. The gratitude I have towards this program is surreal. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the and organization. Here I found my passion and found my sisters.

I’m especially grateful to get the opportunity to celebrate this amazing organization by competing for the Centennial Crown.
