Speechless is all I was left when crowned Miss Florida USA 2023. Even as I am writing this almost 48 hours later, I’m still struggling to find the perfect words that encapsulate the amount of love and gratitude I have right now. But, what I can say is, it truly takes a village. My journey did not happen overnight, it was not perfect, but it was all in God’s timing; and I am blessed to have the opportunity for the next year to not only serve the state I was born and raised in, and have always loved, but represent it on the Miss USA stage to the very best of my ability! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who have helped prepare me for this role (tagged in the photo as I am fortunate to have had so many incredible individuals to thank) and thank you to every single person who has called, texted, or posted congratulating me! I am honored, humbled, and beyond ready for this next adventure! Let’s do this, Florida!!! 💫 Photos by the amazing houstonmphotography • • • #mi...
