Miss Teen Great Lakes AmeriFest

Loving the sand and sunshine at Myrtle Beach! My family and I have spent lots of time at the pool, beach, Broadway at the Beach, Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show, and miniature golf at Cancun Lagoon.

I had a wonderful time at the Dublin Irish Festival. Sommer is a friend of mine and an Irish dancer. It was great watching her dance on stage!

I would like to give a warm and thankful shout-out to Journey to the Crown with Tiffany Porter! JTTC is a wonderful and generous sponsor for AmeriFest Pageants. At AmeriFest Nationals, Tiffany handed out these super cute bags! Tiffany is also my pageant coach and has helped me grow tremendously, even helping me place top three at Nationals! I value Tiffany and who she has helped me become. Thank you Journey to the Crown!

I am ecstatic to have placed in the top 3 on Supreme Row in the Teen Division at AmeriFest Nationals 2026! I also won the best fitness award and the prettiest hair award. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me on my journey. My pageant coach Tiffany Porter always encourages me and her expertise has helped me grow tremendously in pageants. My director Carrie Layne inspires and motivates me so that my true personality shines. My wonderful HMU artist Lily Brock helped me win the best hair award. I truly value all the friendships and memories I have made and will cherish them forever.

Evening gown is done and now we wait for crowning. A big shout out and thank you to Lily Brock for doing my hair and makeup!

My Great Lakes Director Carrie Layne gave us swag bags at Nationals! This gift is just one of the many things she does for us all year long! Thank you so much! And thank you to Lana, Heidi, and TyChenell who also gave us good luck tokens and charms.

Interview done and in the books. Looking forward to evening gown tomorrow! Good luck to all the contestants!

I had the best time with my sash sisters Elena, Adelynn, and Rilynn at the AmeriFest Nationals Pageant Royalty and Sponsors Meet and Greet. To the wonderful Mama Rae with Journey to the Crown, the amazing national pageant director Diane Turner, my fabulous pageant director Carrie Layne, and all the beautiful queens. Thank you for sponsoring AmeriFest and for all your hard work and dedication!
