Mrs. Ohio AmeriFest

went out today to shoot some shots🏹

this is one of my coping strategies when i feel i need my mind cleared.

i will always be grateful for my husbands father for allowing me to use his lower yard. it helps me in many ways!

i was grateful this weekend to come home as the US photo supreme❤️

not quite what i was going for but i’m still grateful for my local title that sent me here, the other women i met over the weekend, the theme photo in the program book, and the supreme title i was given.

also, Carrie, why on earth did you let me walk around in that swimsuit! omg…😂 please don’t let me do that again!🫣

4️⃣ Why did you choose to compete at AmeriFest

I chose AmeriFest because i told myself that I wanted to make myself a better person. I wanted to have opportunities to show my true heart by helping others. AmeriFest has given me just that. I’ve learned more on who I am as a person while being along side so many other amazing women! 💙

3️⃣ Pageant besties and who i’m bring to nationals

Im grateful for all the wonderful woman i’ve met being with amerifest!

this year it will be me and my husband at nationals and im super excited for that!

2️⃣ Favorite community service/platform topic

My favorite is my platform Comfort in Connections. My mission is to normalize and speak out about comfort items. I created this platform because i have always found comfort in my stuffed animals when things get hard or i get overwhelmed. Yes, i have gotten strange looks and that im okay with! But, I do not only want to bring normalizing stuffed animals only. All types of items ranging from an old hoodie, a blanket, or something that is precious to you. No matter the age, we all deserve to have an item that gives us security and comfort.

let the countdown begin! 🥹👑

1️⃣ Intro

I’m Kat, the 2026 Mrs. Ohio! I live in the small village of New Concord with my husband and fur baby. I am currently wrapping up my last semester of college to be a pediatric nurse. I enjoy spending my time with my husband and enjoy multiple hobbies such as journaling, encouraging/promoting comfort items, and for the sake of summer, amusement parks (kings island). This is my last year for a while but i am going to take all the same things and make them x3 as special!

happy fourth yall💙❤️
