My journey began on October 8, 2011 when I was given the job as Mrs. Virginia International 2012. What a journey it has been. The many opportunities which have allowed me to speak about my platform Take a Stand B.R.A.V.E. (Be yourself, Resist the bullying, Achieve your best, Value your future, Encourage others) along with being the national spokesperson for SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere). I have seen a difference among our youth and schools after I visit. I hear how they have started programs against bullying/cyber bullying, mentor programs, and or bullying task force. I truly see that my family and our efforts are making a difference in the lives of our youth and that is the destination for my journey.

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”

American Heart Association - Heart Ball (April 14)

 Kristyn and I were invited to the 20th Annual  AHA- "Heart Ball" in Richmond. It was a beautiful night and they were able to raise a substantial amount of money. Way to go AHA! I personally was moved by the video presentation they did and having the survivors stand. WOW just breathtaking. It was also a wonderful evening because my husband Stuart was able to join us and help volunteer. - Thanks Honey!
