Inspiration A great deal of my inspiration to compete for the title of Miss Washington USA comes from wanting to make a positive change in social issues, specifically education for grade schoolers about kidnapping prevention. My personal story involves being kidnapped and strangled when I was 6 years old. I have plans to use my current title platform, Miss Downtown Kirkland to raise awareness and positively educate, inform and prevent child kidnappings and help to heal victims through artistic outlets and confidence building activities. I am also interested in the Reading with Rover program which helps children improve their literacy, competency and confidence by reading to canine friends.
In addition the pageant scene is undeniably an excellent place to start or enhance one's performance career. I was already very established in comparrison to my competitors as a television host, and actress, but if it helps me land my dream job of hosting an international adventure travel show - I'm all for it!
Support My Story! After my one of my major donor supports backed out two days before the competition, I have been trying to raise the money to pay off my debt since November. Wonderful friends and businesses helped out of sheer compassion and now, with a fraction to pay off I am almost there. It has been hard to continue working on my platform goals when I am preoccupied with paying this debt. You can support my plight and passions in a few simple ways: Write a check or money order made out to "NW Pageants" and write "for Michael-Ellyn" or "for Miss Downtown Kirkland 2007" on the notation line, and mail to me (call for my address) or mail to ABC Model Talent Sport Management, 12708 Northup Way Ste 201, Bellevue, WA 98005. Thank you for your help!
