Mrs United States National Pageant Photos-
In the National Mrs United States Pageant , I am proud to say that I came in first runner up! The National pageant is a scoring system, so each contestant is scored in interview, evening gown and swimsuit and then top 12 was chosen. All answer a question and the judges re-score after reviewing the top 12 re-competing. The winner was 30 year old , Mrs. Mississippi, who also won swimsuit. My coach, Janice McQueen was very helpful and I worked very hard to acheive my fitness goals in 2 short months after my state win.
