About Me
Pageant Queen
I won Mrs. Utah 2023 and placed top 15 out of 46 contestants at Mrs. American.
​
My other recent pageant experience includes:
-
Mrs. Utah United States 2020
-
4th-runner-up at Mrs. United States 2020
-
1st-runner-up at Mrs. Utah America 2022
-
4th-runner-up at Mrs. Utah America 2020 where I also won Miss Photogenic and Best State Costume
​
As a Mrs. contestant, I not only compete for personal betterment, but to have a real-time knowledge of what my clients are going through. (And in my 40s, I always need a fitness goal!)
My belief is that even if I don't win or even place, I develop new interview skills and insights that help me be a better coach and mentor.

Education & Experience
I have 20+ years of professional writing and editing experience. I am a former high school English teacher and university professor.
​
My educational background includes:
-
Master's degree in English Education
-
Study abroad at St. Catherine’s College, England
-
Bachelor's degree in English
​​
With my combined writing and pageantry experience, I have developed a system for making judges bios and resumes captivating at first glance. This process is customized to my client and no two bios or resumes look the same.
​
After solidifying the paperwork, I work with my client on interview skills built specifically around the paperwork we have designed or what I call "the invisible, sparkly pageant box."
