Update

Hi Everyone,

I've been slacking a tiny bit regarding updating you on appearances. So, I've decided to create one big blog post to let you know what I've been up to. A separate blog will be posted in the near future to give you details on my Miss Massachusetts 2013 pageant experience, which was absolutely incredible. All I can say is if you are eligible to compete in the Miss America system, you must do so. It's such life changing opportunity and it makes you a better person.

Read the posts below to learn about my June/July appearances!

NSTAR Walk for Children's Hospital Boston 6/9/13

Local Miss MA Contestants 
The NSTAR walk for Children's Hospital Boston is an annual event that the Miss MA local title holders participate in. It's a wonderful event, because it allows us all to come together and volunteer for such a distinguished hospital. CHB is part of the Children's Miracle Network, which is actually the Miss America Organization's national platform.

Contestants must raise money for CMN in order to qualify to compete at an MAO local. I had fantastic time with my fellow sister queens at a water station where we kept the walkers hydrated. I also was able to help pass out snacks. I throughly enjoyed myself and loved the experience knowing I was helping raise money, so children can have healthier and brighter futures.

Cambridge Family & Children's Service Banquet 6/11/13

I was invited to be a special guest at CFCS Banquet. I enjoyed spending time with the guests, taking pictures, signing autographs and speaking about the Miss America Organization. It was a really cool experience, because I also got to greet guests as they arrived in style by limo. It was a Hollywood themed party, so guests walked the red carpet and were given a catered meal with delicious dessert. Too bad I was in pageant mode then, so I had to watch the dinner commence from a far. However, I still had a blast brightening everyone's day. Thank you so much to CFCS for having me! You've been such a pleasure to work with :-)

Zinga Fundraiser 6/12/13

I held a fundraiser at Zinga! Frozen Yogurt in Kenmore Square. This is my absolute favorite frozen yogurt place around. It also happens to be a Miss Boston/Cambridge sponsor. I decided to have a fundraiser at Zinga! to raise money for Children's Miracle Network. The fundraiser was fun, because I got to stand out on the sidewalk and hand out free samples in my crown and sash. I know the public enjoyed that..haha. Most of them didn't know who I was, so it allowed me the opportunity to introduce myself to a new community and make friends. I was able to meet my goal of raising over $600 for CMN.








Dedham Flag Day Parade 6/14/13

Dedham Flag Day Parade 
Miss Suffolk County and I had the opportunity to be in the Dedham Flag Day Parade thanks to her business manager Lisa for booking us this appearance. This was my first parade as Miss Cambridge and boy was it exciting. The entire Dedham community was out to watch the parade and welcomed me with open arms. I was so thrilled to be a part of this experience.
Thank you New England Corvette Rentals for the ride
We rode in style on top of a corvette...never thought I would be able to say I did that!





This was also a great bonding experience for Victoria and I because soon after we would become roommates for Miss MA week.


We promised each other a cheat meal after the pageant was complete. I know that will happen in the near future. What a memorable flay day!

Cambridge Ride & Run 6/23/13

 After attending the Cambridge5K Freedom Run at the CambridgeSide Galleria, I was invited to be a part of the Cambridge Ride & Run. This was such a great event, because it motivated youth in the Cambridge and surrounding communities to exercise. The Ride & Run was designed to allow participants to "ride" their bikes and "run" a specific distance. The course looped around the CambridgeSide Galleria and at one point allowed the kids to run in the mall. How fun?
Speaking to a participant 






I helped out with awarding each child a metal as they crossed the finish line. I also was a part of the official awards ceremony at the end of the event. Also, we had a celebrity in town who took part in the festivities.

Mario Lopez of ExtraTV stopped by to enjoy the fun. He announced the start of the races and also handed out metals with me. What a cool experience. I also met up with Cambridge Mayor Henrietta Davis. It's always a pleasure to see her. I absolutely love the Cambridge community!

Did you know Cambridge was voted the most walkable city in America? Soon, hopefully Cambridge will also be voted one of the most bike-able and healthy cities as well!

Miss Massachusetts 2013 Pageant
Pageant Week June 26-29
(Separate Blog Coming Soon)

Yasso 7/2/13

with members from the marketing department 
Post Pageant life....My business manger, Dustin, invited me to a focus group at Yasso Boston headquarters. I was able to sample new frozen yogurt flavors and provide the company with feedback. The best part about this appearance was sampling frozen yogurt that hadn't been released to the public yet. Who knows, maybe the company will change their strategy because of me? Anyway, Yasso is a sponsor of Miss Boston/Cambridge and I absolutely love healthy treats!

Stay tuned for more blogs. Although I didn't win Miss Massachusetts, I still remain Miss Cambridge till February of 2014!
