The Miss Memphis pageant was a wonderful experience for me. I made many new friendships and had a blast. I am going to school to be a journalist and I know that the interview and stage questions have helped me to prepare for my career. As an alternate, i will take with me many wonderful memories of the Miss Memphis organization.
The scholarship money that I earned by competing in the Miss Memphis pageant helped me to futher my education. I am currently working on my Masters in Journalism at the University of Memphis and I am proud to say that the Miss Memphis organization has helped to fund my education.
