Post Miss Oklahoma Appearances

I was honored to still have requests for appearances after I gave up the Miss Oklahoma title in June. One of the first appearances I had was back at Chesapeake Energy Corporation where I taught an etiquette class to the college interns. At the end of the month, I traveled to Missouri to speak at the National Holstein Convention on the importance of being an ambassador for the dairy industry. I was also asked to speak at the Oklahoma Women in Agriculture Conference in Oklahoma City where I had the opportunity to share my story of how 4-H, FFA, and eventually Miss Oklahoma all gave me a voice to promote agriculture and the dairy industry.

I’ve also continued my work with Dairy Max through radio promotions for Fuel Up to Play 60, speaking at the Schools for Healthy Lifestyles luncheon and the Ag in the Classroom summer conference.

One incredibly exciting event I was recently asked to attend was “The Big Event” hosted by Bob Funk of Express Ranches. My brother and I had the opportunity to have dinner at the table with Bob Funk and some of his family, the Governor Mary Fallin and her husband, Lt. Governor Todd James and his wife. It was amazing to see how much Express Ranches is doing not only for the agricultural industry of Oklahoma, but for Oklahoma’s economy as well.

This past week I spoke at the Meeker Lake Association banquet on the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition and exercise. I was also able to share the importance of setting an example for young children to follow, because healthy habits are formed at a young age.

I was also asked to do a photoshoot at Cross Timbers Marina at Skiatook Lake to promote their wedding options. We did a mock wedding photo shoot on the wedding barge, in the cabin and on the pontoon boat! If you’ve never been out to Skiatook Lake, you should definitely go for a visit. They have beautiful camp sites, great cabins for families, the Lakeside Grill serves delicious food and it was recently named the cleanest lake in Oklahoma!
