I am Brandi Lea Nash, Mrs. Wyoming Essence 2010! I will compete at the National Essence pageant in Kansas City, MO August 28th. I am passionate about sharing my platform: "Show Time! Life Is Not a Dress Rehearsal." Having lost 90 pounds in the last year and a half I hope to share with others the importance of following their dreams and never settling for second best. I am the mother to two fun loving kids, Andrew and Juliana. My husband Jeremy and I have been married for 11 years. I am proud of my military husband and am former active duty Air Force myself. It is beneficial for me to be involved in a local group for military spouses, Spouses Helping Spouses (SHS) where I can connect with others that are married to the military. In addition to being involved with a busy family life, I am the Cheyenne Ambassador for www.24more.org (a state funded campaign aimed at informing Wyoming citizens about activities that can positively impact the development of children.) Having graduated with honors from Hollywood Expressions (HEX) make up school, I am a certified professional make up artist. I enjoy having an in home studio and working with a variety of clients. In addition, for the last 14 years I have used my voice to create voice overs for radio ads. I also enjoy taking Lyrical dance classes and performing at recitals. It is fun to also be a model with Fierce Modeling School and Agency (Rapid City, SD.) I am currently making appearances across the state of Wyoming and am looking forward to the National Essence pageant. My mantra is "I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."- Maya Angelou
