We asked Katie a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana USA pageant that she will be competing in.

How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it’s getting closer? Feeling so excited see everyone and to reunite with some long time friends. Pageantry is a close-knit community, and RPM is a wonderful example of that.

How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA? My pageant prep is going great, I always love diving deeper into myself and my goals, and working to improve my skills each pageant season.

What are you most excited about? Since I am a performer, I am most excited about being on stage and feeling the energy from the audience.

Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to? I can’t thank my wonderful Mom enough for supporting me in every way of preparation for this pageant. She makes it all possible, and I hope to make her and my sweet Dad in Heaven very proud.
