Feat. my last few weeks in my home town💕🌽

That’s a wrap! I can’t believe I’m finally leaving Indiana! I appreciate everyone who let me crash with them while I finished out my remaining shifts at Monterey, and to everyone who came to see me before I moved! (special shout out to for driving 16 hours and back with the Penske truck and my car hitched to the back of it to help me move over here🚕!)

Huge thank you to everyone who rallied together to help take care of my sister and her family while she’s been in the hospital since 10/3. I appreciate you all more than you know and please continue to check up on them for me while I’m gone. DM me if you’d like their address to send them a care package or even just some Bible verses or letters of encouragement!
Keep fighting Carissa.❤️ I love you. You got this. 👊🏻

Thank you to everyone who made my last few weeks in Indiana so special 💗 I will miss you all dearly🫶🏻

🥁…So excited for this new chapter of my life in Maine!

HAPPY 3rd (21st in dog years!🥂) BIRTHDAY MAISEY!!! 🎉🎂🥳🐾
Just thought I’d show off the loml rq since she’s just SO CUTE! 💕
This is the first dog I’ve ever had that was completely and entirely mine -and tbh I only got her because my sister had an accidental liter of Danes and no one else wanted her so she was placed in my lap. To be honest I didn’t even really want her, I had just won a National pageant and the last thing I wanted was added responsibility. I even named her Mazi-after Mazikeen the demon from the TV show Lucifer because I fully expected her to tear my life apart. I have no idea how, but she has grown into the most perfect horse sized dog I could ever ask for. She is my best friend,and I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without my best friend. She taught me about discipline, patience, nutrition, how to not take life so seriously, how to build a routine, and how to love something other than yourself unconditionally.

Big announcement coming soon but I really am going to miss her so much during this transitional period of my life, but I’m counting the days until I can bring her back with me and take on the world together again💕

In the mean time please give her all the love while I’m gone, and send over some dog treats to my parents house so her and Gumbo can celebrate her being 21!!🥂🫵🏻

you have my ❤️

Huge thank you .austinryde and and for helping me look my best and feel ready to leave it all on that stage!

My goal for this pageant week was to be 110% truly and authentically me. Which I know could sound counterintuitive when competing in a beauty pageant but the girls who get it get it. My whole life I was told that I was “too much” or that I “loved too hard.” But this time I didn’t want to hold my heart back. Many of you know I didn’t go to a four year in person college right after high school, so I don’t get to meet a lot of people my age traveling, doing online school, modeling, and working full time. I realized that the one time a year I get to meet girls around my age, who have similar dreams and aspirations and drive (aka girls who just GET it) is during Nationals week or when I attend pageant events. I realized that if I came into this week so focused on winning I would completely miss out in the one opportunity I have a year to make true and genuine friendships.
So I went into this week ready to give everything I had into making every single person I met feel valued, heard, and important—because that is truly what brings me the most joy. Yes I wanted to perform my best, we all did, but that wasn’t the point of it all.
Making more lifelong best friends this week, more unbreakable bonds that I will carry with me throughout the rest of my life and being able to be a mentor for the younger girls was the whole point. Getting to truly see, and appreciate the friends I already had that came all this way to support me was the whole point. I got to truly see my village and all of the people who have rallied behind me and supported me through my whole life.
These past few months my life has changed in ways I never could have imagined, but what I learned is that real, deep connections and friendships are what makes life extraordinary. It’s important to reach for the stars and chase your dreams but all of it would be for nothing without genuine connection and people to share it with.
I hope you all see how much you’ve changed my life!
I can’t wait to see what’s next!💕😘

The photo dump from the BEST WEEK EVER you’ve all been waiting forrrrr💕👑

So thankful for everyone who helped me get this far and to all the people who have supported me throughout my pageant journey. I am so excited for this next chapter of my life and I am so proud of my line buddy/ rock for the entire week ! You’re one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met, I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of this title. It was your time and I couldn’t be happier to cheer you on and support you during your reign!
Thank you and .abdelmalak for flying across the country to uplift and be there for me this week. I couldn’t have made it without your support and inside jokes and truly I couldn’t have made it this far without you both and you’re amazing mommas!
Thank you for all of those tireless sessions on zoom and in person throughout the past few months and for helping me feel confident and ready for the national stage during the week! Thank you and for helping me build my portfolio and helping me create the most beautiful headshots for the competition!
Thank you for helping me get my hair and extensions where I needed them for competition as well and for helping me get my skin ready for pageant week!
Thank you and for bringing my DREAM Miss division wardrobe to LIFE and for supporting me every step of the way! I love you both so much.
Thank you and .austinryde for helping me look my best all week and for always making the hair and makeup room so much fun! (Also ily and thank you for letting me have my Chappal Roan karaoke debut at like 10am)

And thank you mom and my wonderful family for helping me do this sport and for helping me achieve my dreams. I love you all endlessly.

I truly couldn’t have done this without my village. Without you I would have never realized my potential and had the strength to reach for the stars. ❤️

I can’t wait to see what comes next!!

New beginnings💕

🚨WE DID IT!!! ITS OFFICIAL!! Senate Bill 151 is now INDIANA LAW!!! 🚨

I am beyond proud of my amazing sister for taking initiative on this challenge alongside the rest of my family to create ! It’s been two years of blood, sweat, and tears and we FINALLY got governor Braun’s official signature to change statute of limitations changed for felony 3 r**e and child molestation from 5 years to 15 with DNA evidence!
This is another step towards our ultimate goal of lifting the statute of limitations in Indiana all together.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who was a part of this journey and for everyone’s help and dedication during the entire process!

I’m so proud of you Carissa. You continue to inspire me every single day❤️

Thank you .abelgas.olson for inviting and I to help welcome sweet baby Sienna into the world with butterflies, laughter, and an entire village filled with the kindest, most joyful family on the planet! This sweet girl is going to have an entire ARMY of glamorous yet protective pageant girls by her side ready to take on the world too, so there’s no stopping her!!

It’s always so good to see my girly and some of the other of the contestants competing for in July! Looking forward to seeing all of you girls there!!

Also side note thank you for the best deviled eggs mom and I have ever had🫵🏻🙌🏻 talk about enchanted….
