Initially, I wasn’t sure I could embrace this role. With balancing motherhood and an accelerated academic journey on top of devoting time to my faith, I questioned my limits. Yet, my faith anchored me. I’ve been studying the Bible, and Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things with Christ who strengthens me.” With that, I realized this is both possible and purposeful. I want to advocate for mothers to pursue their dreams. I believe that just because you created a life doesn’t mean yours is over. The bigger we dream, the higher our children can look up to us.

I hope to show all mothers, as well as my daughter, that with faith and perseverance, you can do ALL THINGS. I hope to inspire the next generation to dream big and reach higher. My intention is to show young mothers that your situation doesn’t define you, because with everything that I’m juggling and everything that I am, I am now also honored and blessed to announce that I am an official candidate for Miss Philippines USA representing Las Vegas!

The funds raised will help cover entry fees, travel, wardrobe, and other expenses needed to participate in the pageant. I would be so grateful for any donations, shares, or words of encouragement. Your support means the world to me and helps show mothers everywhere that their dreams matter.
