Mrs. Maryland International 2026

 After competing in my first pageant, I realized something so much bigger than crowns and gowns — pageantry gave me a platform to amplify my voice. As a mother, professional, and advocate for congenital heart disease awareness, I saw firsthand how wearing a crown could open doors to conversations that truly matter. It gave me the opportunity to connect with people, share my family’s story, and inspire others to use their own voices with confidence and purpose.

That is why it was such an incredible honor to take on the mantle of Mrs. Maryland International 2026. This title represents so much more than a sash or crown to me — it represents service, advocacy, and the chance to make an impact across Maryland and beyond. I am proud to use this platform to raise awareness for congenital heart disease, empower women to embrace every part of who they are, and show that pageantry can be a powerful force for good.
