I still feel like I’m dreaming!

I am beyond honored and grateful to be crowned Miss Florida USA 2024. I only competed in two pageants before, in 2015 and 2017, and I didn’t even make it to the top 15 in the state competition. Fast forward 7 years later, I returned to the stage and won a title I dreamed of having as a little girl. Every step has shown hard work, perseverance, and the unwavering support of my loved ones.
 
Thank you to the judges for seeing something special in me, your recognition means the world to me!

A special shoutout to the incredible women who stood by my side as finalists; your grace and talent made this journey unforgettable. I feel blessed to have gotten to know you, and for some see you again to witness how you have grown into women who carry themselves with such class!

As I move forward to Miss USA 2024, I am committed to empowering women, inspiring them to become financially literate leaders and thriving business owners.
Together, we can break barriers and achieve our dreams

Thank you Peter Morales for being my #1 supporter & coach with walking, questions, and interview. And thank you to Carlos morales for also helping me prepare for interview! 

This is just the beginning! 👑

Thank you Jaclyn jaclynstapp for putting together such an amazing event, I felt like I was already competing at nationals with how the entire production was put together. Especially in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful & excited to be able to work alongside you over this next year, I’m ready to put Florida back on the map! 

And last but not least congratulations to my new little sister Kennedie for your well deserved win. I remember telling some of the misses you actually reminded me of my little sister & now you officially are! 
Your hard work paid off!!! I’m glad I get to go on this journey with you, and  support you as you compete for the title of Miss Teen USA 2024 I just know you are going to do amazing!!
