In this episode of The Pageant Buzz, we sit down with a true powerhouse in pageantry and beyond Mrs. Ohio America, former Mrs. Ohio American, founder of the Cardinal Crew, director of the Northern Ohio Pageant, and a practicing doctor.

She shares her journey to nationals not once, but twice, and opens up about what she did differently each time, what she learned along the way, and how her perspective shifted through both experiences. We also talk about leadership, serving contestants through the Northern Ohio preliminary pageant, and the heart behind creating the Cardinal Crew.

And because she is a doctor, we also asked her the question so many women are curious about right now GLP-1s. She gives thoughtful insight into the conversation around health, confidence, and doing what is right for your own body.

This episode is full of pageant wisdom, real-life perspective, and encouragement for any woman preparing for the stage, nationals, or her next big chapter.
