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."
