🌎 A Call to Action for Our Planet

I'm deeply honored to represent Connecticut as Miss Connecticut Earth 2025 and to champion environmental healing through my platform, SustainablyYours — a movement focused on reconnecting communities with nature and fostering personal and planetary wellness.

For me, Miss Earth is more than a title — it's a call to action.

🎓 My Academic & Environmental Journey

I recently graduated from the University of Connecticut (@uconn) with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, concentrating in Environmental Sustainability. I’m now pursuing my master’s in public policy administration, bringing me one step closer to leading radical environmental change.

Growing up in Glastonbury, I was blessed to witness the beauty of the Connecticut River and the magic of New England autumns. That’s where my love for Mother Earth, whom I call Gaia, began — and it continues to guide both my life and my mission.

🌿 Reconnecting with Gaia

There is nothing like the serenity of nature amidst the chaos of the world. The wisdom in the trees, the quiet strength of the earth, the song of birds, and the endless sky remind us of how delicate, yet powerful, life truly is.

We are a living tapestry, woven into this world — and with that, we each carry the power to make a difference.

✨ Meaningful Magic & Mindfulness

As a magician, I practice what I call Meaningful Magic — a fusion of artistry, intention, and environmental awareness. I advocate for radical environmental change and reminding people of the magic within Gaia, and how we as humans are not so different from the other beings we share this planet with.

I also lead a Mindfulness for Earth group, hosting guided nature walks that reduce anxiety and find healing in nature. Mother Earth is one of the most nurturing forces we have — and remembering that often brings people back to themselves.

Together, Meaningful Magic and mindfulness create space for reflection, renewal, and responsible stewardship of the natural world.

🥦 Community Nourishment with CLICK

As a vegan of 10 years passionate about nutrition and wellness, I’ve partnered with CLICK, a nonprofit based in Willimantic, CT. I’m proud to support their farm-to-table program by sharing my cooking skills and promoting health-conscious, earth-friendly eating.

💚 Beauties for a Cause

I am raising funds for the B4ACUSA Foundation (Beauties for a Cause), a nonprofit organization that empowers eco-conscious leaders like me to make a real impact through sustainability projects, outreach, and advocacy.
