My Plans

My future plans are rooted in service, compassion, and purpose. Every step I’m taking—academically, professionally, and within the Miss America Organization—is guided by a commitment to care for the whole person and to give back to the communities and families who shaped me. Whether in healthcare or on the Miss New Jersey stage, my goal is the same: to lead with intention and make a lasting impact.

Into the Future

Graduation

In May, I will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology, a degree that has strengthened my understanding of the connection between mind, body, and behavior. This foundation has deepened my passion for patient-centered care and prepared me for the next chapter in my medical and service-driven journey.

​

Miss New Jersey

In June, I will compete at the Miss New Jersey Competition in Ocean City, NJ, marking my fourth attempt at the crown. If selected as Miss New Jersey, my goal is to compete at Miss America, serve as a brand ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and bring my cura personalis philosophy to life across the state. I plan to recruit and mentor new candidates, secure meaningful sponsorships, travel New Jersey for outreach and advocacy, and educate students on fundraising for wish kids—while preparing the next class of Miss New Jersey contestants to lead with confidence, purpose, and heart.

​

Nursing Program

I plan to pursue either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Nursing as the next step in my clinical education. Currently, I work as a medical assistant at Rainbow Pediatrics, where I gain hands-on experience caring for children and families every day—confirming that pediatric care is exactly where I belong.

​

Career Dream

My ultimate career goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner in Pediatric Cardiology, caring for children with complex heart conditions—just like my brother. Inspired by Dr. Rychik, Nurse Dodds, and my parents, who are both physicians, I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of compassionate, skilled medical care. I aspire to save lives, support families through their hardest moments, and practice medicine that treats not just the diagnosis, but the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
