And the Viking takes the Crown

As most of you know, I haven't made a blog post in a while. Well needless to say, life has been a roller coaster. I competed in 3 pageants within 2 months, and at the last pageant I was crowned your new Miss Tahoma 2015. What an honor! I now have the opportunity to represent my community and my platform at the Miss Washington Pageant July 2nd-3rd. This title allows me to do more with my advocacy for disability awareness and inclusion, and for that I am very excited. Many doors have opened up for me, one of which was being interviewed by my schools newspaper, the Western Front. I was able to talk about my pageant experiences, being a new titleholder, and my most prized possession, my platform. I am honored to be featured in the newspaper, and am so grateful to share this experience with my friend Sydney. Her and her family were kind enough to do follow up interviews and to make this article the best it could be. They are a second family to me and the continuous support they have given me is more than I could ever ask for. If you would like to check out the article, I have included it below and would really appreciate it! Join me on my journey to Miss Washington and in changing the stigma surrounding disability. I preach love, respect, and equality and I encourage you to do the same.
