I am honored to have represented the state of New Jersey at the 2004 and 2005 Miss United States Pageant, and to have placed in the top ten and first runner-up to Miss United States!

First and foremost I thank God for this incredible opportunity, and my family, friends and sponsors for their love and support throughout this experience!

I have learned a great deal from participating in pageants, and they deserve some credit for where I am today in my career.   As a natural progression in my pageant career, I have started B.Youneek Total Image Development for women interested in achieving their personal best.  My sister and I have just finished working with the new Miss New Jersey US 2007, Teresa Sterlacci, to prepare her for her national pageant.  Our Pageant Beauty Bootcamp isn't just for pageant contestants, but for women who want to look and feel their best...and with a little help from myself and my Fashionista sister Liana, we make it happen!  Check it out...B.Youneek.com 

God Bless,
