Time to introduce my “little sisters”!!✨🌸👗

When being crowned Miss Eastern Panhandle one thing I was most excited for was to have “little sisters” Introducing Olivia (left) and London (right) not only are these 2 the best of buds but I have had the absolute best time getting to hang out with these 2 last summer, I immediately knew they’d make an unstoppable duo at Miss West Virginia! 💗

Olivia is 7 she is a New Year baby born 1/1/19 at Meritus Hospital. She loves horses, soccer, and 4H and has a special interest in her animals.
While she was homeschooled this year for first grade, she will attend Faith Christian academy in the fall! She has the kindest heart and always keeps us entertained! She is the most loyal person I have ever met and the best supporter to have on your side! 💜

Meet London! This charismatic 8-year-old attends Faith Christian Academy and is looking forward to entering third grade. She brings endless energy to everything she does. A true creative, she enjoys crocheting, loving on animals, making slime, and creating art—even winning first place at her school's local regional art fair this year! When she isn't making art, you can find her wrestling, riding her dirt bike, or hanging out with her cousins and friends. London recently took on her newest big role as a proud big sister to her baby brother, Joseph. Brave, witty, and full of humor, life with London is truly never dull. ❤️

When deciding my talent this year I first thought to myself…what am I good at? Cooking came in mind, but you can’t cook a Miss WV worthy meal in 90 seconds! 😉

So I pondered for awhile until one day I was singing in the car to a song that I know and love and I paused and restarted the song but the karaoke version…I thought to myself wait! That kinda sounds good! So instead of looking for something I was good at, I took something I already knew how to do and could get better at with practice!

For my talent I will be singing the song “Valerie” by Amy Winehouse! I love Amy’s lower range, jazzy, h***y tonky feel music! I feel very confident and cannot wait to perform it for West Virginia! 🎶🎺

Happy World Transplant Day! ♻️❤️The greatest gift in life is the gift of life!

ITS MISS WV MONTH! 13 short days until I check in for the opportunity of a lifetime! I am going in with a heart fully open for new experiences new challenges and lasting memories❤️

What do I want out of the competition? Many would think my answer would be “to win” but not necessarily, out of the 23 girls that I have the absolute honor of competing beside I truly think any one of us are capable of the job. However my goal this year is to take on every moment, living on a transplant list is very similar to living in a situation of “I don’t know” because you truly don’t. You truly don’t know if these opportunities will be your last time getting these opportunities, you don’t know what your next day is going to be like, tomorrow you could wake up and receive the call, you could wake up and your organ function numbers could’ve dropped. So for me I take in every moment I get, every second I get to use my platform for a purpose I will. And don’t get me wrong I’ve always loved dressing up and doing my makeup, and getting dolled up, but my purpose is my drive, my why, so I want to spread awareness far and wide, I want to spend the week enjoying every second with these wonderful ladies, encouraging and lifting each other as we crown another who I have no doubt will move mountains! I am forever grateful and thankful for the friends, family, and community that got me here, and I’m beyond excited to take the stage as your MISS EASTERN PANHANDLE 2026 (I still squeal that I get to say that☺️💗)

Thank you so much to Rescue Me WV for having me this past weekend! I had so much fun meeting everyone and getting love on these pups!

Rescue Me WV is a non profit organization that is built on volunteers who foster needing pups until they find that perfect home❤️ The wonderful ladies I got to meet have such a dedication and big heart for every pup that comes their way☺️ They have the cutest little store at 59 E Rd, Martinsburg WV 25404, full of puppy supplies and accessories and all purchases benefit their program and their pups!

Can’t wait to do more with this awesome program in the future! And if you’re in the market for a pup to add to your home be sure to check them out! All of the pups are beyond sweet, and perfect🐶🐾🦴

This past Sunday I had the absolute best time with Queen Creations hosting my very first “Crowns and Cookies” fundraiser event!!💗🍪

Everyone looked stunning in their beautiful princess gowns, I loved getting to interact and decorate cookies with all the gorgeous princesses that were able to attend!👑🍪🙌🏻

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported! Hopefully planning another fun even with Queens Creations soon! Be sure to check out her summer baking series she is hosting this summer!!! You may just see a familiar face at some of her classes😉

Today my teen Miss Eastern Panhandle's Teen and I got to do the “Doggy Day Out” with our local humane society! This program is so neat it allows the pups at the shelter to have a day out of the shelter! In return the participant shares how the pup did on their day out so the shelter can communicate that to the community and potentially their new families!

We got to take this sweetheart “Robin” out for a day! She enjoyed the car ride so much and was as calm as can be! We treated her with a pup cup (small portion of vanilla ice cream with a dog treat😉) at the ice cream stop! If I didn’t already have my own pup I absolutely would’ve taken her home, she stole my heart completely💗

She was so excited to get out and she was so beyond friendly! Robin is available for adoption at the Berkeley County Humane Society WV

We also got to donate some blankets and towels to the humane society! They are always looking for things to provide their furry friends! Be sure to check them out and if you can donate!! I’m sure the pups and kitties would very much appreciate it! ❤️🐈🐶
