On September 26th, 2009 I had the privilege of speaking on the National Youth Forum Panel hosted by the American Heart Association. I was joined by four wonderful teens who spoke about their challenges to eat healthy today as well as their ideas on how to make healthier food choices. They also shared with our audience the best ways to stay active to maintain a healthy body and feel energetic.
We had the great pleasure to have WFAA reporter Jim Douglas join us for this national forum. We appreciate his support in promoting Heart Healthy Awareness.
The American Heart Association has developed a for kids by kids program, "EmpowerMe" to guide children and young teens to a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you to all those who came out to support the AHA!
About Me
- Miss Texas International 2011
- I am Miss Texas International 2011. I was recently crowned in San Antonio, Texas on March 13th, 2011. I also won the Fitness & Interview award. This experience is one of the most exhilirating and amazing accomplishments I have ever achieved. I was born and raised in the great city of Dallas,Texas. My platform is "Preventing Child Obesity" and I have dedicated my reign to educate parents and children about the importance of healthy food choices. Educating children at a young age about the importance of eating right is a significant part of my life; which is why I continue to reach out to new organizations providing new ideas to help prevent child obesity. I am available for appearances,attend special presentations and assist with civic and non-profit oriented projects. To schedule an appearance, contact the State Office, at 210.403.0589 and ask for Kristin Koether, Executive State Director. Inner beauty if a very important part of my beliefs; my favorite quote that reminds me of that everyday is "Beauty cannot be seen or even touched, it must be felt with the heart" Thanks for visiting my page!

Couture & The Cure
We have all heard and some believe the saying, "God works in myserious ways". Well, he never ceases to amaze me each day. I met a wonderful lady and designer by the name of Tameca Hodges who has dedicated a portion of her own time to a fashion line that benefits the Susan G. Komen foundation. She invited me to participate as a "pink carpet" host for her Couture & The Cure Fashion show in September.
I felt so honored to be a part of a great cause to help prevent breast cancer. It certainly hit home for me when I read her letter about the fashion show. I have a grandmother and a cousin on separate sides of my family who are both breast cancer survivors. It is a blessing to have them both in my life and I have no idea what I would do without either one of them. My grandmother is a 21 year survivor this month and I can't imagine 21 seconds without her presence, love, generosity and smile that she has shared with me throughout the years.
The event took place at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum in September. The models were amazing, the designs were awesome and I couldn't ask to be a part of a greater event! Thank you to everyone who supports the breast cancer awareness funds.
