Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2006

In 2006, I decided to enter something completely out of the ordinary for me: a pageant. I wore my prom dress, borrowed shoes, did my own hair & makeup, and was completely clueless. I ended up winning and had the most memorable year of my life thus far. I spent the year traveling all over the state of New Jersey participating in charitable events and became a spokesperson for teens of NJ.

I also had the opportunity to travel to Palm Springs, CA and participate in the nationally televised Miss Teen USA Pageant on NBC. For 2 weeks I competed and had the time of my life. I ended up making it to the top 15 then the top 10, which was a huge honor. (Click Here to view my gown presentation from the preliminary competition!) I grew so much being Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2006 and it has helped me to become the comfortable communicator I am today.
