Happy Holidays!

I'm excited to announce that I will be competing for the title of Miss Alaska USA 2017 in February!

As many of you know, I have enjoyed competing in pageants in the past. Some of my previous Titles include: Miss Teen Arctic Circle 2008, Miss Alaska Teen USA 2011, Miss Arctic Circle 2012, and Miss World Eskimo Indian Olympics (WEIO) 1st Runner Up 2012. Pageants are a great way to get involved with your community, share your culture, gain confidence, and inspire others.


My fundraising goal is $3,000. These funds cover the $895 entry fee, wardrobe for the opening number, evening gown, bikini, and interview portions of the competition. It will also cover additional costs for my official headshot and accessories for competition. Sponsorship fees are due by January 13, 2017.

If you choose to support my journey to become Miss Alaska USA 2017 your name will appear on my sponsorship ad page in the pageant program booklet.
(If you do not want your name listed, please message me.)


I am very grateful that many of you have supported me in previous pageants and I appreciate your continued contributions and encouragement! Holding the title of Miss Alaska USA has been a dream of mine for many years and I have been working hard preparing to be on stage for the upcoming competition on February 4, 2017!
