On December 1st, I had my first event with my sister queen, Kay at the Home for Little Wanderers in
The following morning I felt so honored to be a part of the "Stuff-A -Truck" event with Channel 5 WCVB on the Boston Commons! This was my first live interview! All of the delegates from the Miss Massachusetts USA pageant donated a gift to help "stuff-a-truck" to deliver to the Home for Little Wanderers. We chose to focus on the teenage group because we feel that this age often gets overlooked. The girls generously donated hair supplies, make-up, clothing, and items that teenage girls would enjoy! Channel 5 arranged for a Bernie & Phyl's truck on the Boston Common to collect unwrapped toys from the public all day!
On December 5th I met "Irish"Micky Ward, famed retired boxing Champion at the Wicked "Irish" Thunder event to celebrate the premier of the film "The Fighter"! Ward's life in the boxing ring is the subject of the movie. It stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, who also attended the event! The film was nominated for six Golden Globe awards this year, including Best Picture and Best Actor! It was such an honor to meet such a humble man!
On December 9th, I attended the Make-A-Wish Foundation Charity Wish-A-Thon with 103.3 WODS. This was my first radio interview! I felt very honored to be a part of this great charity who fulfills wishes for local children with life-threatening illnesses. This was my first Make-A-Wish event, however the Miss Massachusetts USA organization and past sister queens have been proud supporters of the Foundation. I was so glad to be a part of this and I was truly touched by the stories of the wish children and their families and I look forward to working more with the Foundation throughout the year!

Kay and I were so happy to return to the Home for Little Wanderers on December 16th to unload the trucks stuffed with toys and gifts for the children! It was so touching to see how many people donated and to know how happy this will make hundreds of children on Christmas morning. The Home was filled with warm volunteers with bright smiles!
A couple hours later I was in my first fashion show as Miss Massachusetts USA! Fashionably Late presented Newbury 211 at the Liberty Hotel in Boston. I love love their dresses! I was able to meet so many great people from Dynasty Modeling, Newbury 211, the girls, and Miss Teen New Hampshire 2011, Annie Read! The event was beautiful, I hope to continue working with them =)
