Take me back to the Miss North Carolina Org. red carpet🤩

This beautiful blue dress from Betty & Jane Boutique made for the perfect teen finals outfit! Not only was it stunning, but it was quite comfy too! I’m incredibly grateful for Betty & Jane’s generosity and keeping me dressed in the best pieces all year long! Having them as a sponsor has truly been a dream come true and I couldn’t imagine my year as Miss Garner without them!

It really does take a village and I’m so grateful for mine 🤍

The love and care that has been poured into me from the missgarner_misswakecountyorg since November is unconditional. These volunteers have not only worked tirelessly to prepare us for competition, but have given everything they can to help us grow as people and know our worth. At times when I felt the most unsure, they were there to steady my heart and mind. These folks are the greatest gift this experience could give me.

Thank you to my Miss Garner/Wake County family for all that you are and do🤍

Through every moment of Miss NC week, there was Caelynne💙

My sweet Carolina Star who never failed to remind me of my worth. Throughout the week, many things didn’t go the way I had planned but Caelynne was always there with so much love and light. After finals were over, she gave me a hug and said “You’re Miss America to me”. That moment alone reminded me that this role is bigger than just me. It’s the impact I can have on girls like her.

Thank you Caelynne for believing in me, loving me, and being a light when I needed it most. And thank you to her mom, Samantha, for sharing your girl with me. 💙
