I am happy to report my first event as Miss Texas International was more than I could have imagined. The Kids in The Kitchen Event at Children's Medical Center Plano had a great turn out of parents, kids and families truly staying active and looking for ways to become more active. It was refreshing to see so many organizations come out to support and promote healthy living among kids. I had an opportunity to meet so many awesome kids and parents and share with them my story about staying healthy and active, even on a budget!
The American Heart Association provided wonderful activities for the kids to participate in for a chance to win many great prizes. The kids had an opportunity to perform an activity with their parents to win a heart healthy cook-book-so many moms jumped right in! It is great to see how these kids influenced their parents to be more active and encourage them to cook together, eat together and be physically active as a family. I saw these families come together in more ways than one just by teaching them to do a healthy activity together! This is the goal I want to reach with every family so it was a great start and truly inspiring. If you are interested in how to stay healthy log on to www.americanheart.org to find healthy recipes, fun and easy exercises and local parks that are safety approved.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters organization was present at this event and I had the opportunity to talk with a few of their representatives about their organization. I am pleased to say I will soon be a Big Sister! I could not be more excited about having my very own little sister to mentor. Stay tuned for updates about the process and my new little sis!
Keeping up with my appearances? Follow me.... I will be at the Frisco Roughriders baseball game Sunday, April 10th for an on-field appearance and to enjoy a great game! The Roughriders care about healthy living too so they provide kids the coolest opportunity to run the bases before and after the game. Bring your kids to the game and see what it's all about! They also have a heart for special needs children who love baseball and have designated days in August to play a game with these kids. I will be participating in this event to help the kids run the bases; I am so excited! Don't forget April 15th I will be stopping in to Austin Elementary School to chate with these kids about how to overcome challenges in their life. I am looking forward to sharing my story and encouraging them to continue to reach for their goals and accomplish their dreams!
Stay tuned...

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!
