Mrs. Massachusetts & Vermont America Pageant

My first time performing as Miss Cambridge 2013 was at the Mrs. Massachusetts and Mrs. Vermont America Pageant on March 17th. I had a great time being able to perform without the stress of being judged and scored. I was able to entertain the audience with my contemporary ballet piece "Firework!"

I also was able to watch the pageant and see two very worthy women win the Mrs. Massachusetts and Mrs. Vermont America crowns. Congratulations to Mrs. Massachusetts Janelle Woods, and Mrs. Vermont Hannah Fitzpatrick.  Best of luck at Mrs. America!

Today, I was a Princess

On March 16, I had the opportunity to visit my local library and host a princess party. When I arrived all of the party guest were making crowns. I guess you could say, I surprised all of them when I walked into the room. They were so happy to see a live princess, and all of their faces lit up when I entered the room.  It was an incredible feeling to know that I was able to make the young girls happy.  

The party continued, and I helped run a treasure hunt, serve the special princess berries snack, and lead the sing along. My personal favorite part was being able to sing "If you're a princess and you know it, clap your hands."


I thought it was really cute when the little princesses came up to me to show me their dresses. They then personally complimented me on my dress. However, I made sure to tell them that they were dressed in beautiful princess attire, and that I absolutely loved their outfits even more.  We practiced spinning and curtsying in our dresses, proper princess edict.



I had a wonderful afternoon with all of the princesses, and they truly made my day. I hope I can host another princess party soon!

2013 Quincy Lunar New Year Festival

Pictured with opening ceremony performers 
On March 10th, I was invited to attend the annual Quincy Lunar New Year Festival. Thank you Quincy Asian Resources, Inc. for having me as a special guest at such a prestigious event. It feels like yesterday, I was in high school volunteering for this wonderful organization! I have volunteered many times in the past at annual August Moon Festival and Lunar New Year Festival celebrations. 


Being introduced at opening ceremony
Over 7,000 people attended this year's celebration, and helped ring in the year of the snake! Lunar (Chinese) New Year is a very special to me, so it was wonderful to be able to celebrate this occasion with the community.

My favorite part of the day including spending time with friends and being announced onstage as a special guest. I was surprised and honored by this gesture. QARI put on a fantastic Lunar New Year celebration, and I can't wait to attend the next one!
