Interesting Facts: |
I have served as
an International
AIDS Volunteer in
Ghana, West Africa. I once lived in
Rome, Italy for a
summer while I
studied abroad. I
have studied
classical ballet for
15 years and the
ballet performance
I'm most proud of
was dancing the lead
role of "Clara" in
The Nutcracker. I
have walked the
runway during New
York City's fashion
week. I have also
modeled
internationally with
such companies as
Venus Swimwear,
Hawaiian Tropic, and
the world renowned
Chelsea Football
Club. |
|
Employment: |
Accounting and
Auditing Intern at
Kahn, Litwin, Renza
& Co., Ltd.,
Certified Public
Accountants and
Business Consultants |
|
Marketing Plan: |
I plan to foster
lasting and
meaningful
relationships with
organizations
throughout Rhode
Island as well as
nationally to inform
the community not
only about my
platform, but the
importance of the
Miss Rhode Island
and Miss America
Organizations. My
personal integrity
and passion for life
will contagiously
spread the spirit of
both organizations
to whomever I
network with
throughout my year
of service. My
experience with
public speaking,
marketing,
fundraising and
educating will
provide the
foundation needed
for my year of
service in Rhode
Island. My
experience will also
help me to dispel
common stereotypes
and poignantly voice
the mission of the
Miss Rhode Island
Scholarship Program
to build new
partnerships and
gain new sponsors
for our program.

|
Legacy: |
I will be
remembered as a Miss
Rhode Island who
transformed the
quality of life for
Rhode Islanders and
all Americans
through the kNOw
HIV/AIDS Campaign. I
will be seen as a
Miss Rhode Island
who had a lifelong
dedication to her
state and platform,
and worked
unremittingly for
both. I will be an
inveterate champion
of persistence,
passion and
platform. |
|
Why I should be Miss
Rhode Island this
year: |
The national
Miss America
Organization has
undergone many
changes within the
last few years to
re-brand its image. I am a modern,
empowered woman of
the 21st century who
is ready to take on
the honor and
challenge of being
Miss Rhode Island
and leading the
organization into
the next era. I am a
genuine
representative of
the core values of
the program,
standing strong for
the four points of
the crown. Through
action, I have
proven the four
points of
scholarship,
success, style and
service. |
