Such a fun memory from my time in Washington DC meeting with Research Director, Jurek Grabowski, and his amazing staff at AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety! It was such a privilege (and clearly a blast) having the opportunity to increase my knowledge base about distracted driving from the experts themselves. Thanks again AAA staff for giving me so much of your precious time last week! #MissKansas #StayAliveDontTextandDrive #MissAmericaKS

#throwbackthursday to one of the most incredible moments in my life! A moment of pure joy, honor and quite a bit of adrenaline.. It's hard to believe a month has already past by, but I am thrilled for all that lies ahead over the next 11 months as your #MissKansas #MissAmericaKS

Why should YOU compete in the Miss America Organization? Because there are no entry fees, yet you can walk away with thousands of dollars cash scholarship to further your education. Because you get to serve others across the country daily. And because you get the privilege of being a spokeswoman for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, as well as promote an issue dear to your heart. This job is hard, but it is amazing! #MissKansas #StayAliveDontTextandDrive #MissAmericaKS
