Winning the Beauties of Americaís 50s title has been an awe-inspiring experience.  Representing the largest demographic of women in America, it is my goal throughout my reign to dispel the myths surrounding age and attractiveness, and open the discussion of how we define health and beauty. 

My first stop after winning the title, New York City for a photo shoot with MORE Magazine, and a beauty feature in the publication.  Then it was a quick trip home to the American Heart Associationís Greater Portland Divisionís Go Red For Women luncheon committee for final touches before the big event. Media interviews, non-profit events, and educational speaking engagements soon followed.

As the 2009 Americaís 50s national titleholder, my calendar is filling with additional opportunities to bring visibility to causes near and dear to my heart from alcohol and drug abuse prevention, to heart disease.  Rest assured this queen intends to make the very most of each and every one of them!
