This year NH1 News is doing several interviews with former Miss New Hampshire's from the Miss America Scholarship program to see where they are today. It was a fun time in my life and very helpful to me in obtaining my college education, as I was able to pay for half of my Bachelor's Degree with scholarships earned and also my entire MBA in Business was also awarded to me:) The program is not a beauty pageant, but the single largest source for scholarships to women in the world, and talent is a big part of the judging, which was nice for me because I always loved to sing. It will always be a part of my past, and was a stepping stone to help me to lead a non-profit in the state for over 10 years thanks to the opportunities the program provided me. Here is a link to the short feature that aired a couple days ago. There are many other former Miss NH"s who are doing amazing things as well to help others, from combating the heroin crisis in our state to raising awareness for MS, and another Pink Sister is organizing a "Pink Carpet Party" for women battling breast cancer on Oscar day to make them feel like a million bucks! Here's the link to cut and paste to your browser.
