CROWN Your Mind Through Literacy

“Crown Your Mind Through Literacy” was inspired by a deeply personal journey. In eighth grade, I was reading at an elementary level. Everything changed when I met an incredible reading teacher who believed in me and worked with me every single day—starting with books at my level and gradually guiding me to more advanced material. By the end of that year, I was reading at a college level.

That experience ignited a lifelong love of reading—one that I know has played a vital role in both my personal growth and professional success, including earning my college degree.

Today, I am proud to celebrate International Children’s Book Day by continuing this mission. I would be honored to visit your library, school, or scout group to read a story and lead a fun, engaging craft. I am also actively collecting new and gently used books to place into the hands of children and teens—because literacy is not just a skill, it is a pathway to confidence, opportunity, and success.

Before I was a pageant queen, I was a theatre girl 🎭👑

Theatre taught me to appreciate every role, embrace the human experience, and step into the shoes of others with empathy and understanding. As someone who grew up with dyslexia, it also helped me build confidence, find my voice, and grow through literacy in a way that truly changed my life.

Those experiences are what inspired my platform, **C.R.O.W.N. Your Mind Through Literacy**—because when we learn to read, express ourselves, and believe in our abilities, we unlock limitless potential.

Happy World Theatre Day from your **American Royal Beauty Mrs Pennsylvania 2026** ❤️✨

As American Royal Beauties Mrs. Pennsylvania 2026, I am honored to be competing this July for the National title.
My platform, C.R.O.W.N. – Your Mind Through Literacy, was inspired by my own journey growing up with dyslexia and learning disabilities. Because of those experiences, I understand how powerful encouragement, education, and belief in yourself can be.
My mission is to empower today’s youth to rise above the limitations others may place on them and realize that their potential is truly infinite.
Through C.R.O.W.N., I encourage young people to:
C – Courage to learn
R – Read for growth
O – Overcome obstacles
W – Work for success
N – Never give up
As part of this initiative, I will be collecting new and gently used books to donate to children and teens in our community.
If you would like to support this effort and help inspire the next generation of readers and leaders, please reach out. Your donation can help put the power of literacy into a child’s hands.
