Thank you to the judges for choosing me to be your new Miss Grand Wales 2018/19 it truly means so much to me. To my mother who is my rock and side kick in pageant land. You literally do everything for me (I swear it’s her own choice) love you Louise Parkinson.
Pageant girl team you are amazing and did it once again. I have had one of the best weekends of my life (slightly feeling it today) Holly Louise Hannah Ellis Corinna Paterson you are stuck with me forever To Maria T Torres thank you for all the endless FaceTimes and words of wisdom, you have helped me so much and helped me produce the sassy walk love you mama. I suppose I’ll have to add Ariana Torres here because she’s the bestest friend I could ask for, even though you are annoying Rachael Tate you helped me understand myself more and taught me that I could achieve a lot more than what I thought I was capable of. I’m so grateful for all that you have done, and walking into that interview room I felt at ease and confident. Thank you
