“Mature” is defined; complete in natural growth. A mature woman is defined as a person who is fully developed in body and mind.

Hence securing the title of Ms. Mature 2014/2015, I would have built a legacy and set a standard of community outreach and service providing that all proceeding queens will shadow for years to come.

13) If you had the power to change the pageant world what would you change and why?

The pageant world is perfect! What I would focus change towards is the misconceptions too many people have as it relates to pageantry. Pageantry is a dynamic vessel that has unfold and unshielded the inner beauty, charisma and courage of many females who prior to taking that leap, doubted themselves and their capabilities.

I am blessed with two former Queens who are my Chaperones. They each play different roles in the preparations and it’s so fantastic and beneficial for me how it all falls together.
