September 9th is a day that my life changed forever.

Nothing can prepare you for the feeling of trying to save someone who has spent so much of their life taking care of you. Just a few short weeks ago my grandfather, Papa D suffered from cardiac arrest. I went from being his granddaughter to watching CPR being performed on someone I loved with my whole heart. I watched as an AED was used in an attempt to bring him back to us. I remember praying, hoping, and desperately wishing for just one more heartbeat. One more conversation. One more hug. One more chance to tell him how much I loved him.

My Papa D was one of my biggest supporters. He believed in me, encouraged me, and was so incredibly proud of my journey within the Miss America Opportunity. Competing for Miss North Carolina was never just about wearing a crown or walking across a stage. It was about making my family proud, pursuing a dream I had carried since I was a little girl, and using my voice to make a difference. And Papa D believed in every bit of that dream.

He was so proud to watch me do something I loved, and I would give anything to have him in the audience just one more time.

One of the most meaningful parts of the Miss America Opportunity is its partnership with the American Heart Association and the Go Red for Women movement. Through this partnership, young women across the country are empowered to advocate for heart health, raise awareness, and promote lifesaving education, including CPR and AED training.

I never imagined that this mission would become so deeply personal to me.

I never imagined that the CPR training I had received would be something I would have to use on my own grandfather. I never imagined that I would experience firsthand how quickly an ordinary day can turn into a family’s worst nightmare.

And although our efforts could not bring my Papa D back to us, I know now, more than ever, how important it is to be prepared to act when someone’s heart suddenly stops.Because behind every cardiac arrest is a person. A family. A lifetime of memories. And people who would give absolutely anything for one more heartbeat.

Papa D, I love you and miss you. ❤️

This weekend reminded me all over again just how much I love the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Organization and the incredible family that comes with it. 💙👑

Being at Miss America was such a special experience, and it made me even more grateful for this organization, the friendships it has given me, and the women I have been blessed to know through it.

Getting to cheer on Lauryn and Camdyn at the Miss America finals this year was so surreal. They represented North Carolina so beautifully, with so much grace, confidence, and heart, and we should all be incredibly proud of them. Our state was represented so well. 🤍

It was also so special seeing so many of my dearest friends. Two years ago, I had no idea how the Miss America Opportunity would change my life and I am forever grateful that God lead me to this amazing opportunity. There is truly nothing like the sisterhood that comes from this organization.

I want to say a special thank you to the Miss North Carolina Org. for all they do to make the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Organization one of a kind. This organization truly has become apart of who I am and a place I can call home.

I left this weekend with such a full heart and an even deeper appreciation for the Miss North Carolina family. I am so thankful for every friendship, memory, opportunity, and person this organization has brought into my life. North Carolina truly has something so special. 💙

West Palm Beach, you were a dream ✨👑

Getting to travel to Florida to cheer on one of my best friends, Lauryn Mallard, our current Miss North Carolina, as she took the Miss America stage was something I will never forget. Watching someone I love represent our state on a stage this special made the entire weekend even more meaningful. 🤍

Every little girl dreams of moments like this. Growing up, I watched Miss America on TV from my living room with my mom, dreaming about what it would feel like to be in that room one day. Sitting there beside her in real life, watching Miss America 2027 be crowned, was truly surreal.

I’m so grateful for everything the Miss America Opportunity has brought into my life, the friendships, the growth, the service, and the dreams that somehow keep getting bigger. Being in that room reminded me just how much this dream still means to me.

So proud of you, Lauryn, and so grateful I got to cheer you on. And maybe one day, I’ll be lucky enough to stand on that Miss America stage myself. ✨🇺🇸👑

Happy 4th of July!🇺🇸❤️
I am beyond proud to call myself an American today on the 250th birthday of the United States of America. It is such a privilege to live in the land of the free and home of the brave. Thank you to all of those who have sacrificed to keep the American Dream alive.

As this week has come to an end, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey to Miss North Carolina.

I didn’t realize just how many people truly loved and believed in me until this week. While I may not be coming home with a crown, I can confidently say I am leaving with something far more meaningful. I am walking away knowing that someone now feels a little less alone during one of the most difficult seasons of their life and that is a reward no title could ever replace.

This past year through the Miss America Opportunity has been a beautiful reminder that my daddy is still with me, and I know he would be proud of the young woman I’ve become. As you grow older, losing a parent doesn’t get easier, it simply changes. Their absence is felt in different ways, but their love never leaves you.

I am beyond grateful for the friendships I’ve gained through the Miss North Carolina sisterhood and for the opportunity to serve my community in ways I never imagined. I truly believe God has a purpose for every season of our lives, and sometimes His plans look different than the ones we had written for ourselves. Looking back, I wouldn’t trade this year for anything because it has shaped me into the person I am today.

Thank you to the Miss Morganton Scholarship Organization for believing in me over the past two years and for helping me grow into a stronger, more confident version of myself.

As I step into a new chapter, I can’t thank God enough for every lesson, every opportunity, and every person He has placed in my life through the Miss America Opportunity.

Congratulations to the new Miss North Carolina Lauryn Mallard. Lauryn, you have a servant heart and I can’t wait to watch you at Miss America.

Here’s to new beginnings, trusting His timing, and embracing whatever comes next. 💖

Today I had the privilege of receiving the “Pivot to Purpose” Educational Scholarship at the Miss North Carolina Educational Scholarship Fund awards ceremony. I don’t share this story often but my first two years of college were some of the hardest moments of my life and there were many days I needed my mom to encourage me to leave my apartment. At 18 years old I moved 16hrs to Oklahoma to pursue a career and degree in Dance Performance. I didn’t know that in just a short few months my dreams would he crushed as I was told I would never be successful as a dancer. In March of 2024 I decided to transfer to The University of Oklahoma, not knowing a single other student. While at The University of Oklahoma I majored in Health and Exercise Science while also pursuing a minor in Dance History. Although my time was short at the The University of Oklahoma, I found my love for healthcare and decided I wanted to become a Physician Assistant. Transferring colleges was one of the hardest decisions I have ever faced but God lead me to exactly where I needed to be at the right time. Receiving this scholarship meant more than anything to me, it reminded me that God’s plan always unveils itself. I am beyond blessed and can’t explain how much this scholarship meant to me.

Preliminary night two is one for the books! I can’t thank God enough for giving me peace throughout my dance routine tonight. The most rewarding gift of tonight was knowing that I shared my story and made my daddy proud. I am beyond thankful for the Miss North Carolina Org. for this amazing week and for my village that constantly supports me. Can’t wait for preliminary number three tomorrow!!💚💕

Tonight, I get to dance one of the most meaningful dance routines I have ever choreographed. When I was deciding what I wanted my Miss North Carolina talent to be, I knew I wanted it to be a reminder of my “why” and just how importance Beyond The Ribbon is. Tonight as I dance Foot Prints in the Sand, I can only hope to make my daddy proud and for all those who have lost a loved one to know they are never alone.🎗️🤍

Prelim night one!!

What a night to remember, I am a firm believer everything happens for a reason. Despite the power outage the Miss North Carolina Organization persevered. Competing my on stage question last night was one to remember, while standing backstage I prayed that God would allow my story to be told and that my dad would be proud of me. It meant the world to be able to tell the audience and everyone watching that no matter what cancer diagnosis you may receive nobody is truthfully ever alone. As we enter a crazy busy day full of two preliminary competitions due to last nights competition being cancelled, I can’t help but think of how God so often calms the storms. Knowing that no matter what situations arise God truthfully allows peace and comfort when we trust in Him🩵
