ROYAL CROWNING NIGHT! 👑💜

What a surreal night, My whole Jacaranda journey has been one of personal growth, laughter, community and unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever.
When I nominated to be a candidate, I wanted to challenge myself and step outside my comfort zone. I can confidently say I’ve grown so much since then. My younger self would be so proud.

My Jaca fam, my fellow royal party team Alice you have been an absolute joy to take on this journey with me you have such a special soul, Dannielle you we the best Matron to us you have been like a big sister to us all last year and this year, Issy and Caleb you have both done such an amazing job representing our youth. I have so much love for everyone and proud of all of us and how far we have come. You all are such beautiful people.

This years royal party, I have enjoyed being on the other side to support you through your journey’s, I am so proud of all of you, every one of you have come out of your shells and flourished. I hope you all have such an amazing week it will be so much fun. Just take a moment to breath and take it all in, all the hard work you have put in. It truly is a memorable experience. Congratulations for taking on this adventure and cherish every part. As I pass on my title, I do so with immense gratitude, pride, and love for this community.

Thank you, Grafton, for believing in me, supporting me, and being part of this chapter of my life. It’s been an honour to represent the Grafton Jacaranda Festival and the Clarence Valley as your 2024 Jacaranda Princess.
