Appearing on the mayor's radio talk show

I had the pleasure of appearing on the Santa Barbara mayor's radio talk show where I was given the opportunity to promote the Miss International pageant and share my passion for mentoring with the BBBS organization. For those of you in the area the show will air this Saturday, December 1st at 10AM on KTMS-AM 990. Make sure you tune in. For those out of the area, I will be posting a link to the show so that you may listen to it online. What a wonderful opportunity! Huge thank you to mayor Helene Schneider for welcoming me into the studio to share my passion!
