My Crowning Moment...

I was crowned Mrs. Texas 2009 on June 13, 2009 at the Carroll Theatre in Southlake, Texas by Bobby Jo Compton the former reigning Mrs. Texas. I was extremely nervous and even more excited! I cried, screamed, shook, and almost passed out! ;)-

On a serious note, I'm incredibly honored the judges selected me to represent the Great State of Texas for 2009! There were 33 OUTSTANDING competitors! It had to be a difficult decision for the judges to make... I never wittnessed so many incredibly talanted women on one stage before! I cherish the friendships I made and look forward to crowning one of them next year!

I took home the title of Mrs. Texas 2009 along with the Best in Evening Gown & Best in Fittness awards.

For the next several months I will work hard to prepare for Mrs. America ~ With the help of Tracy Crist and her staff, My Friends & Family, and your thoughts & prayers... I hope to bring Texas to the top at Mrs. America for all my girls!

My Bio ...

I have been an Account Executive and Marketing Event Manager for Royal Case Company for the past 5 years. Royal Case Company is a family owned and operated business which my husband's parents started over 28 years ago. We are a custom carrying case and molding manufacturer that now employees over 1,000 people worldwide and have several locations thoughout the USA and overseas.

A year ago I also obtained my North Texas Realtor License and have been selling Real Estate in North Dallas for Jenel McGrath Realtors in Sherman as well. I also Invest in, buy,rent, and mantian Real Estate for our family business.

MOST Importantly though, I am an at home - or should I say- "On the Go" Mom to my Beautiful Son, Zoltan Michael III "Trae". My son was born September 30th, and is now almost 9 months old! Besides my husband, he is what moves me internally everyday!

Along with being a mom, as important, I am the honored wife to my husband, Zoltan Jr. " Zoli"! He is the most caring, respected, and driven man I know. He admires me for all my little "quarks" and loves me for who I am. It sounds cheesy- but some people never get to find that "one" in their life, and everyday I wake up knowing I did!

My Proud Parents are Gail & Mike VanOverbeke, Phyllis & Terry Skipworth, and Zoli Sr & Nong Pocza.
