Some of you may have seen this elsewhere, but I wanted to write a short post to officially announce that I was chosen as Ms. Wheelchair USA 2018! I am incredibly honored, proud, and excited, and just a little bit overwhelmed. I cannot thank you all enough for your support!

I will be back later this week or early next week going over the pageant week and pageant itself in more detail. The week was amazing, but also very busy and a bit of a whirlwind! I’m going to take a few days to catch up on things in my real life, and to think about how I want to get things started with the national platform that I now have! It’s such an amazing opportunity, and one that I want to be sure not to waste.

I also just want to mention how grateful I am to have met all the other incredible women who came from all over the nation to take part in Ms. Wheelchair USA. Each and every one of them had such an amazing story, and I am sure that we will see great things from them.
