After 6 years and 5 attempts at the crown, I am humbled and thrilled to finally be your Mrs. Washington 2012!

At the age of 15, I met the love of my life, my husband Mark. We were married when I was 21 and were blessed with our two amazing and adorable children, Teague and Avery.  I run marathons travel extensively, and I am very involved in my children’s lives with Boy Scouts and horseback riding. We enjoy an active lifestyle, taking full advantage of the wonderful activities and natural beauty our lovely state has to offer. Whether it is hiking in the mountains, playing in the Pacific Ocean, or riding motorcycles & ATV’s through the valleys of Eastern Washington, my family and I would live nowhere else. We also enjoy spending time together volunteering and attending Church.  After achieving several of my goals in life; such as becoming a wife, mother, and establishing a successful career in healthcare, it was time to focus on my goal of pursuing a national pageant title.  

I am so thankful to the Mrs. America organization for providing an opportunity for today’s married woman to not only shine and be recognized, but to offer such a wonderful experience in which lifelong friendships are made.
