Mrs. Maryland

Balancing a family and work while fostering one's individual interests can sometimes be a daunting task but a way of life for many women. I am constantly striving to be my best self and a way in which I do this is through pageantry.

It has always been my dream to be my state's official representative at a national competition that celebrates marriage, family values and supporting our community. I have decided that 2009 will be the year that I fulfill this dream. In an attempt to fulfill this dream I will enter my state's competition for the Mrs. United States, Mrs. International and Mrs. America systems because since I can not predict the future I am not sure if or which of these titles I will win.

As Mrs. Montgomery County (and hopefully as Mrs. Maryland), I intend to serve my community as a goodwill ambassador and bring greater awareness to my platform "Reading: The Key to Your Future" via the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) organization. During my year of service my goal is to make 75 appearances within my state and through out America.I am especially interested in volunteering for organizations that promote literacy however I am available for the following:

* greeting the public
* motivational speaking
* hostess/seating guests
* registering event participants
* making announcements
* ribbon-cuttings
