Miss Tecumseh 2013: August 2014

For the first time, a preliminary competition for Miss Universe Canada was held in Windsor. I had the pleasure of helping out with the Meet and Greet as well as backstage on pageant night. At the meet and greet I got the opportunity to meet all he contestants and I also helped sell tickets to the pageant. On the final night I helped out by entertaining the judges before the show, and helping out backstage getting the girls ready as well as giving them some positive encouragement. It was amazing seeing a little bit of the behind the scenes of what goes into a pageant at that level. It was also exciting to see girls that I've met through the local pageant system competing, including 3 past Miss Tecumseh contestants. At the end of the preliminary competition, they made the decision to send six girls to the National pageant instead of 5. The six lucky ladies to move on to the Miss Universe Canada pageant were: Alyssa Boston, Patricia Poczekaj, Amber Bernachi, Katrina Kryza and Sarnia’s Denise Cortez, and Laura Coppola. All the ladies did an outstanding job and I know each and every one of them would have represented Southern Ontario well at Miss Universe Canada. I had an amazing time helping out with this pageant and I think it was a great opportunity to get introduced to a higher level of pageants. Hopefully next year I will be competing to be a part of Miss Universe Canada.
