I currently hold the title of Mrs. Maryland USA World 2025. During November 7-9, 2025, I, along with other talented delegates will compete for the title of Mrs. USA World in New Orleans. If I am blessed with the opportunity to win the crown, I will serve the mental health needs of adolescents. If you believe in the cause of Mental Health Awareness, then I need your support. I am seeking support, encouragement, in kind donations, and sponsors to assist me in winning the USA World title. I currently hold the Ms. Prince George's County MD, Ms. Corporate America 2025 title. This honor has allowed me to serve the community in a larger capacity. In addition, I was 1st runner up and most photogenic for the state of Maryland Ms. Corporate America Competition in March, 2025. I could not have done this without you!
My charity of choice is the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI). I am available for appearances, community service projects, and wherever I can share my platform of Mental Health Awareness Proudly wearing my Crown and Sash.
