🌟 Tip Tuesday: Time Management Tips! 🌟 Happy Tuesday, everyone! With the Miss Ultimate USA National Scholarship Pageant just around the corner, effective time management is more important than ever. Balancing last-minute practices, planning, and everyday responsibilities can be challenging, but these tips will help you stay organized and productive. ⏰✨ Time Management Tips: Prioritize Tasks: Make a to-do list and prioritize your tasks based on importance and deadlines. Focus on completing the most critical tasks first. Set a Schedule: Plan your day with specific time blocks for different activities. Having a structured schedule helps keep you on track.

Mission Accomplished!!👩‍🚀🛰️ What an amazing day it has been! I started out the day strong by participating in a 3 hour exclusive training mission as FDO in the control room while the rest of the crew was on board the space craft flying the ship and participating in cabin crew activities! I learned how to successfully deal with problems within the systems of the ship and proper communication and levels within a nominal or a-nominal range. After that rush of inspiration, I tried the MAT machine and boy did I get dizzy! Then finally settling down I joined the rest of the alumni’s outside and had the opportunity to sign my name on the pieces that will be added to the pathfinder outside of the Space and Rocket Center. Overall leaving so inspired and informed! Can’t wait to come back!🚀 #missultimateusa #ultimatelyyou #ultimateera #bellasboutiquenc #ultimateserviceinitiative #morethanjustacrown

Space Camp Reunion Day 1👩‍🚀🚀🛰️ I had the opportunity of attending multiple festivities today to support the alumni that have made such an inspirational change in the world. Even attending a dinner that contributes to the scholarship opportunity for potential space camp attendees who are less fortunate. I talked to people actively working to make life changing breakthroughs weather it be from working in the United States Space Force, to a teacher that had the opportunity of talking to the king and queen of england about her findings with her students. The most inspirational of all was having a conversation with Madison Marsh the reining Miss America!! It was so amazing hearing her story and getting to meet her. More to come tomorrow but I leave today feeling inspired!!🩷 #spacecamp #inspiration #sparkingchange
