I'm truly amazed and thankful for the many doors competitive stair climbing has opened and continues to open for me over the years. This year I had the opportunity to once again sit on the judges panel of the USA Ambassador Pageant at Margaritaville Resort Orlando.
 

The USA Ambassador Pageant is a charity driven organization promoting Success through Leadership, Integrity, Character and Confidence (SLICC) in today's young women. These young woman traveled across the country coming together to represent their states and work as ambassadors within their own communities, from volunteering, to sharing their talents, to meeting public officials, and so much more.
 

I relish at the opportunity to give back to others pursuing their goals and ambitions which is why I initially became a judge and why I decided to come back for a second time. I love to see people stepping outside of their comfort zones, defying the odds and becoming all they were meant to be. Congratulations to all of the contestants and the newly crowned Queens! Wishing you all the very best and whatever you do, continue to be a beacon of hope and positivity. Let your light keep making the world brighter.

 

I once came across a quote by Jay Danzie that read, "Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you becomes your trademark." Every day, we have the power to inspire, uplift, and leave a lasting mark—not just with what we say or do, but with who we are. Be the kind of energy that people remember. Let your smile and presence be a spark, your attitude a light, and your kindness the legacy you leave behind.
 

Let your smile lead, your values shine, and your impact speak louder than words. You never know who you’re inspiring just by being you.
