Mrs. Texas Pageant

What a great experience this weekend tasting some of the best barbecue in Texas at the High Steaks Cook off in support of the 2026 Special Olympics Fall Classic! 🥇🍗👩🏻‍🍳

Luckily my white romper stayed white even after all the great samples I was able to taste! 😂🙌🏼

What an incredible day for PINK IN THE PARK! 💗🎀

Thank you to Gifts of Hope Permian Basin for inviting me to be a part of this year’s Pink in the Park Breast Cancer Awareness Rally. We spent the morning hearing amazing testimonies from survivors, celebrating the warriors who have won their battle or are still going through it, and remembering those who fought until the end.

I had the opportunity to honor the brave women I know who are breast cancer survivors and warriors through and through. To Tracy (My amazing director), April B., Susan B., and Tracy R., I am inspired by your bravery. This October I am thinking of you and your journeys that made you warriors, and some of the strongest women I know. 💪🏼

Permian Basin Gifts of Hope, a Cancer support center for patients, caregivers, and family members, hosted an amazing rally to raise funds and support for the clients they serve locally. 🎗️

If you or someone you know is in need of support, resources, or information please be sure to reach out to their amazing staff. And don’t forget ladies - GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS!

Got to start this morning off my being a part of Love Midland ❤️

To me there’s a difference in wanting change, and creating change! Being a part of an initiative that encourages our city to give back and be a part of a bigger purpose allows me to not only make a difference in my community, but it allows me to be a role model for others to also take part in making a positive impact.

Don’t forget to be a part of your community and give back in the small ways you can.

LET’S LOVE MIDLAND! 🙌🏼

Happy National Black Dog Day! 🐾🖤

Did you you know that black dogs are less likely to be adopted and spend up to 4x more time in the shelter than lighter colored dogs. 😢

In 2025 I felt called to foster a dog through the Fix West Texas program and ended up taking Miss Arina home. After a month she ended up becoming a permanent part of our family. I’m so thankful I took the leap and trusted my heart to foster this sweet girl! It truly changed my life, and hers too. 🥰

In case you haven’t thought about adopting, there are some great local shelters who have great pets waiting for their forever home. Consider adopting or fostering and saving a life! 💖

What a fun weekend celebrating the UTEP Football homecoming weekend and visiting my brother, Coach Wheatley! 🧡⛏️🏜️

Fall in Texas is always better watching a college football game! 🏈

It’s National Dolly Day (9/25) and I couldn’t help but share a little love for my career! 💖

In case you didn’t know, on top of being Miss Texas for America and being an entrepreneur, I also hold a full time marketing position with a community bank in West Texas. 🏦

This week I had the privilege of attending the American Bankers Association Marketing conference in Austin, Tx! I love being a part of a team that values continuing education, investing in their community, and building up their employees.

I learned so much this week that applies to many areas of my life, not just banking. Here’s your reminder to find joy in your work, to continue learning everyday, and being the best version of yourself in every aspect of your life. ⭐️

County Fair Season is here and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to attend mine! 🤠

I had so much fun watching the rodeo, viewing the fair exhibits, and even climbing on a (fake) bull myself! I definitely wouldn’t make it to 8 seconds… 😅

25 years later, we remember. 🇺🇸

Today we honor the lives taken too soon, the families who carry their memory, and the first responders and heroes whose courage and selflessness continue to inspire us, like my brother who is a firefighter here in Midland.

May we never forget those we lost, always honor those who serve, and continue choosing to serve one another in their memory. 🇺🇸

Back to where it all started. 👑❤️

When I was 16 I entered the Miss Permian Basin Fair pageant and I knew from that moment I loved pageants. Today, I was pulled from the crowd and asked if I would do the honors of crowning each of the divisional winners.

This was such a full circle moment because although I never won the fair pageant, I always love to watch the girls compete on a stage where I once stood. And today I got to crown them. Thank you to the Permian Basin Fair for allowing me the honor to crown each winner and congratulations to them all. 🙌🏼💐
