Pageant School

I attended "Miss Connecticut's Pageant School" hosted by our current Miss Connecticut, Ashley Glenn, and the Board of Directors. I almost didn't go because I haven't been feeling well but I am so happy I changed my mind. I had the pleasure of hearing our Board members explain what they expect of a titleholder as well as hear from some of our state sponsors.

The most impactful speaker was perhaps Penny Pearlman, Connecticut resident and author of Pretty Smart: Lessons from Our Miss Americas. Her speech really hit home for me. Listening intently, I jotted down notes and pieces of advice she had mentioned for anyone pursuing a dream. Her "Bumblebee Theory" is right on point with what I have been feeling most of my life. Of course I purchased her book...FIVE books actually. I plan on giving them as gifts to a few pageant friends.

Today, I have a whole new outlook on my current aspirations. I feel empowered... I am focused... I am ready!

Thank you to Miss Connecticut - Ashley Glenn and the Board members for a fabulous seminar. It was really an eye opener and I learned so much!

Photo Shoot with Catherine Fiehn

Here are a few photos from my amazing shoot with the official Miss Connecticut photographer, Catherine Fiehn. I was so impressed with not only her quality of work but her level of professionalism and how sweet she was throughout the session. Thank you to Catherine for these great images!
