For he Soul

God first . Sadie proudly gives all the credit for her success thus far and beyond to God . This proud Christian woman , has never shyed away from her beliefs and she has seen first hand the blessings that one can be given from having strong faith .
Only five years ago , Sadie ' s father passed away ; but she still considers herself a daddy ' s girl . She honors him by embracing her artistic skills passed on from her father . She enjoys painting landscapes in her down time and recently she ' s taken an interest in photography , capturing candid moments and life itself .
Before runways and movie scripts , Sadie lived on the mound as a softball pitcher for a local team coached by her dad . Shortly after her dad passed , Sadie hung up her cleats and prepared for the next chapter of her life which included basketball , volleyball , competitive cheer , and NFL competitions . In 2018 , she entered her first pageant , Miss Michigan Teen USA . This would be the start of finding her permanent home in front of the camera .
Although Sadie had no prior knowledge of the pageant world , that didn ' t stop her competing year after year . She felt she always gained not only a new experience but also friends to help along this journey . In 2021 , her final competition year , Sadie decided to give it her all and champion a platform that was near and dear to her : Invisible Disabilities and Illnesses . At the age of 16 , she was diagnosed with POTS ( Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome ), an illness that affects the heart . After years of chasing the crown , Sadie realized she was destined for something greater . Acting became that passion and she was going to work whole heartedly to achieve this dream .
" If I leave you with anything , know that God really does make all things possible . It ' s faith in him that has gotten me this far and will take me so much further . God is good . Habakuk 2 2:3 ." 24
