What a Weekend

Hello!

This last weekend has been crazy busy, but crazy fun! Last Thursday through Saturday, Kennedy High School's production of Jekyll and Hyde was premiered and I had the honor of being a part of such a great show. I had an absolute blast performing with my friends and being onstage. This is a show I won't forget!

On Saturday, I headed over to Davenport to attend Miss Iowa Orientation! Crazy to think that the Miss Iowa pageant is just around the corner. I had a great time with the Muscatine queens and met some of new faces as well. I can't wait to get to know the Outstanding teen contestants more at Miss Iowa week!

On Monday, I then headed over to Des Moines to compete in my National History Day competition. My partner Sweta and I delivered a performance based off of William Shirer, a journalist reporting during the Nazi Reign. We were honored to received the Literature in History Award and place as an alternate for nationals!

Photo Shoot with Shirk Photography

Hello Everyone!

Last Wednesday I had an amazing time in Muscatine to get prepped for Miss Iowa. Crazy to think in 2 months I'll be on the Adler stage competing for Miss Iowa's Outstanding Teen! First I stopped by Anew Salon and Spa to get my hair done by Heather. She taught me some great hair tricks to do on the week of Miss Iowa and my hair looked great for the photo shoot!

 After getting my hair done, I headed over to Shirk's Photography get my head shots done. Ben was an amazing photography and I had a blast taking pictures! Ashley and Kindra were there helping with my hair and makeup, I felt like a million bucks! 

Once we finished the photo shoot, I headed over to Davenport to meet up with Ray Porter and get started training for Miss Iowa. Ray taught me the many exercises I will have to do at home to make sure I look amazing on the Miss Iowa stage. I had a great time, a little tired afterwards, but no pain no gain! 

Until next time,

Your Miss Muscatine Outstanding Teen,
