State Director

                                       

My journey with the Cinderella Scholarship Program began in 2011 when my daughters participated in their very first preliminary pageant. What started as a new experience quickly became a lifelong passion for our family after my four-year-old daughter instantly fell in love with the sisterhood, confidence, and opportunities the program provided.

 

After attending our first international pageant in 2013, I became the director of the Lancaster Preliminary Pageant. When Judy Kyees took over as Pennsylvania State Director in 2016, I began working closely alongside her to help grow and strengthen the program. Over the years, I expanded my role within the system, eventually serving as the Pennsylvania royalty coordinator and the primary point of contact for preliminary pageants across the state.

 

My family remains deeply involved in the Cinderella program today. My oldest daughter, Maggie, has earned the titles of Pennsylvania Miss, Teen, and Woman, in addition to winning the 2025 International AAMTC title and being named 3rd Alternate Overall in 2025. Maggie will now continue her involvement with the system by stepping into the role of social media manager for Pennsylvania Cinderella.

 

My youngest daughter, Phoebe, has also played an important role in shaping the future of our program. Phoebe’s love for Cinderella and her unique spirit inspired the creation of the new Cinderella Spirit Division within the Pennsylvania system, designed to celebrate girls and young women with diverse abilities in a supportive and uplifting environment.

 

As I step into the role of Pennsylvania Cinderella Director, I look forward to continuing to grow and develop this program while helping participants build confidence, independence, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships. My goal is to ensure that every participant feels supported, empowered, and encouraged to become the very best version of themselves both on and off the stage.
