Step by step on the road to 250! 🏅🚶🏻‍♀️

America250PA (as well as my yearly bingo board) challenged the commonwealth to get up and active across the 67 Pennsylvania counties by walking, running, biking, or wheeling as to help welcome America’s 250th year.

Elated to received my finishers medal, but even more determined to continue moving my body, pushing my mind, and practicing healthy habits alongside each of you as we march into the next 250!

Wherever you are and whatever you do — find a way to get on your feet. 🧑‍🩰🏃🏻‍♀️⛹️‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏄‍♀️🚵‍♀️🧗‍♀️

For the Glory Homecoming! 🦁🤍

Celebrated the most spirited week of the year in Happy Valley with 110,000+ of my closest friends. This year was extra special: my first homecoming as a PSU Alumna and having the privilege to judge various areas of the Homecoming Parade alongside stakeholder members of our campus community: Mike THE Mailman, Professor Lori Ann Gravish Hurtack, Assistant Dean Megan Owens, and spectacular three members of our Varsity Fencing Team. Together, we reviewed parade floats, t-shirt designs, Mad Hatter spirit members, and banner ex*****on.. talk about a memorable task!

Having had a front row seat on all the action of such a beloved community event is a memory I will continue to cherish for years to come. Being humbly invited by Director Liliana Dias will always be a top moment of this fall semester here at Penn State — and now I’m even more throughly excited to spend the rest of the football season together on the sidelines.

WE ARE so lucky to be a part of Nittany Lion Nation.

It’s been far TOO LONG!!!

is back because we are in peak busy season + on the road for Penn State’s Schreyer Honors College, Blue Band Coaching duties, and fighting hunger!!!!

Lazy Caffè here in NJ was LOVELY — truly could not recommend enough for you to go and try everything on their menu.. or at least a handful of items like me. ☕️🚗👑🍝

Similar to our new Miss America, just one year ago I sat anxiously filled with excitement watching the competition livestream rooting on women I thought I could only dream to be like and know from my living room.

It wasn’t that I didn’t think I could be successful serving as a titleholder — but rather, I thought that I completely missed my shot to get involved due to being 25 and having zero experience in this new ‘world’. However, I am so delightfully elated to admit how incredibly wrong I was — especially now after witnessing firsthand the crowning of Regan Hutsell.

This weekend was the truest reminder that it’s never too late to put yourself in the race because you set your own pace. Each and every day I’m reminded how lucky I am to be surrounded by the people in my corner who are ready to go after all that life has to offer.

Congratulations to each and every member of the MAO Family on another year of excellence — it’s been such a blessing to have a place in this vibrant community. 🤍👑

48 hours in West Palm Beach! 🌴👑

I refused to miss the opportunity to cheer on Miss Pennsylvania & Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen, fellow twirler Miss Maryland, and our new Miss America this past weekend .. even if it meant a 3 hour drive to Pittsburgh for a 5am flight after PSU Game Day.

Visiting the Expo and picking up a couple copies of Officially Her Magazine had me giddy and filled with even more excitement for the show later that evening. The true gift afternoon was to receive a hug and quick glance backstage from Forever Miss America, Cassie, herself! 🤩🤍

Our mother-daughter road trip through Pennsylvania brought us to East Broad Top Railroad, one of the stops we made while exploring the Raystown Lake Region, who hosted our visit as part of my work as a writer. 🚂

We loved the slower pace. Winding through the countryside, we settled back into our seats. It was the kind of simple experience that makes a road trip with teens memorable.

We also had the chance to meet April Gable - Miss Central Pennsylvania, who visited the railroad as a special guest that day and helped serve ice cream to passengers. 🍦 A special thank-you to Allied Milk Producers for generously sponsoring the ice cream and helping make the Ice Cream Trains possible!

Just one stop along the way as we wandered farther, discovered more, and found plenty of reasons to enjoy small-town Pennsylvania together. ❤️
