Distinguished Young Woman of Alaska 2022

I felt like I was part of a community, even though we had all just met. The events themselves were unforgettable. Every moment was a chance to showcase our skills and talents, from the talent portion to the fitness routine. But even more than that, it was a chance to learn from one another. I was constantly inspired by the creativity and dedication of my fellow participants, and I found myself pushing myself harder than ever before. I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be. Looking back on the experience now, I am filled with gratitude. Not just for the scholarship that I received, but for the friendships that I made, the lessons that I learned, and the memories that I will cherish forever. I am so thankful to have represented our great state and to have taken part in an experience I will never forget.
