December- Gillette

I volunteered at Gillette Stadium during a Patriot's game to help raise money for the Miss Massachusetts Scholarship Fund. It was hard work, but worth it. And, the Patriots won!

December-Model for a Day

I had the chance to attend Glitterati Prom & Pageant Superstore's Model for a Day Event, which took place at the Danvers, MA store location. I got to try on different dresses and take photos with Rick Reade Photography. It was a lot of fun. I will never say no to a modeling opportunity. I  love sparkle! Check out some of my looks below!

November- Faneuil Hall Christmas Tree Lighting


Miss Boston, Morgan Berg, and I decided that we wanted to make a fun appearance during the holiday season. So, we searched for possible events to attend and chose the Faneuil Hall Christmas Tree Lighting. We also invited Miss Suffolk County, Victoria DeKoatz, to come along. We had an awesome experience attending the lighting. We took pictures with fans and really enjoyed spending time together! 




November- Miss America's Homecoming Brunch

I attended Miss America's Homecoming Brunch in Syracuse, NY. I had the opportunity to welcome home Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri. She was Miss Syracuse 2013 and went on to win Miss New York 2013. In 2012, Nina and I competed together at the Miss Greater Rochester and Miss Upstate NY pageant. She won the title of Miss Greater Rochester, and I was her 2nd-Runner Up. We have both come a long way in a few short years. I won my first major local title (Miss Cambridge and placed top 11 at Miss Massachusetts) and she went on to win at the national level. Of course, Nina's had more experience than me. She previously competed in the Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant, where she won Miss Michigan's Outstanding Teen and placed 1st Runner-Up at Miss America's Outstanding Teen. I'm proud to call Nina my friend, and I definitely look to her as my inspiration and role model!

November-Miss Taunton 2014 Pageant

I attended Miss Taunton 2014. I got to reunite with the Miss MA Class of 2013 titleholders. It was a very strange feeling sitting in the audience instead of being on the stage. However, I enjoyed seeing so many new girls competing. There was a lot of talent. The Miss Taunton Organization put on a fabulous production. Congratulations to the new Miss Taunton, Brianna Bostick. Good luck as you prepare for Miss Massachusetts 2014!

October- In Pink Brunch


I modeled different special occasion dresses from Glitterati Prom & Pageant Superstore for the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center's In Pink Brunch, which took place at the Andover Country Club. Thank you Glitterati for having me as a model.

Take a look at the spectacular wardrobe the models got to wear! 


 





October- Brides Against Breast Cancer

I modeled a wedding dress and also helped young women pick out their wedding dresses at the Brides Against Breast Cancer event in Cambridge, MA. I had so much fun with my sister queen Miss Boston, Morgan Berg. Take a look at some awesome photos from the event!
