"Yesterday is history, tomorrow’s a mystery, but today is a gift and that is why we call it the present.” – Unknown

I feel that every day I am given truly is a gift. Since being crowned Mrs. Indiana, I have joyfully devoted my time to spreading the word about this pageantry system through volunteerism, exercise groups, and the media. As married women, I whole heartedly believe that we have so much to offer. It is my goal to encourage all women to be healthy, happy, and excited about their lives.

My life would not be complete without my husband and best friend, Zackery. In our spare time we love to go hiking with our two dogs, running, and walking. We delight in traveling to different parks and nature preserves to enjoy the beautiful world that God has created for us.

It is our goal to someday travel across the United States to see all that our amazing country has to offer. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be Mrs. Indiana and very excited to be a part of the Mrs. America 2011 pageant!
