Thank you to my sponsors! *I have the most
wonderful sponsors in the world. I'd like to thank my sponsors at
New Day Media for creating my
iFace! They are creative, insightful relationship builders who are just as
fun to work with as they are talented. I'd also like to thank my sponsors
at Oxygen, Inc. for providing my wardrobe for all of my appearances,
including my iFace taping. You make me look and feel beautiful, dressing
me for meetings and events that are behind-the-scenes as well as the
more traditional appearances! Thank you to
Dr. Lauren Whenry, DDS, for giving
me the brightest smile of my life! Thank you to my hair and make-up artist
Ilquia Anderson for your
generosity and talent. I loved what you did in Oklahoma City and I can't
wait to see what my pageant hair & make-up will look like! Thank you to my
photography sponsor Wendy Mutz.
I love my photos! I'd also like to thank my newest sponsors: Men's
Warehouse will be providing Bobby's tuxedo for the pageant and
Aspen Athletic Club is
my new fitness sponsor! Without your sponsorship, my pageant participation
would not be possible. Thank you, all of you, for believing in me and
helping me to serve children and families throughout Oklahoma.

Supporting Families & Addressing Divorce As an adult child of divorce, I have seen firsthand the effects
divorce can have on children and families. Today I work as the Executive Director
of Blended Love. I'm an advocate for children of divorce. We show children and youth that they are not alone, that
how they are feeling is natural, and that there are ways of helping
themselves to feel better. We do this through three wonderful classroom
programs that equip teachers as well as kids. I serve as a workshop leader
and ambassador for the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative, teaching relationship
classes and promoting OMI's wonderful free relationship programs. I am so
blessed to be able to do the work I love, to live my dream, and to make a
difference. I do this because family matters. Visit my
Family Matters blog for
articles and links for couples, parents, and families.
