Dream come true

​Just finally catching my breath after a whirlwind of a weekend... My dream came true on Saturday night, and I was crowned Miss Coon Rapids Outstanding Teen 2018. It still feels so surreal as this next chapter in my journey begins. I have big shoes to fill as I step into the Coon Rapids tradition of excellence, but I know that with your support, I'm up for the challenge. Thank you to my family and friends; whether you came to cheer me on, sent messages of encouragement, said prayers or sent positive thoughts my way, please know that I appreciate all of you more than you know. To my new pageant family, #TeamCoonRapids, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have you, and I am so excited to make Coon Rapids my new home away from home.
