Last night was hands down one of the best nights of my life so far. I am so blessed and grateful for this opportunity and I am so excited to be your new MISS NJ USA 2019! This would not have been possible without the countless amount of people have supported me in my journey here. You know what they say: it takes a village. To my family and friends: thank you, THANK YOU! You have been my biggest supporters and my number one fans even prior to this accomplishment. To Vanessa (@vanessaoriolo ), thank you for believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. To the other 103 amazing girls who competed this weekend, thank you for being beautiful inside and out. This weekend is so memorable and it’s because I gained some life long friends. To the Miss Universe Organization, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am so excited to represent this incredible state at Miss USA! To my new Miss NJ USA family and directors (@cindyprovost , @dmillerusa ) , I cannot wait to work with everyone and I hope to make you (and all of New Jersey) proud.
