Lazovski is not a stranger to the pageant stage: years ago, she was on a seven-year winning pageant streak and was to set foot on the Miss Michigan pageant stage when she was injured in a serious car accident.  

"The accident put a hold on my dreams and modeling career," she said. "At that point in my life, I had to focus on my health, my life plan and goals. Once I recovered, I decided to finish my college degree, get married and start a family of my own.

"If I am named Mrs. Michigan in March, then it was meant to be and I will know now how my pageant chapter ends."

Lazovski describes herself as a "curvy mother of two" who is honest, hard-working and motivated. "I feel I would be the perfect choice because I am no better than the other contestants, no better than any woman in my area or my state, in fact I am just like them. Like many moms, my challenge is to juggle it all and I seem to do it, just like many others.

"I feel the winner should be one that can relate to the people of this state and be a great Michigan representative when it's time to compete for the Mrs. America crown."
