As we look towards a season of mass gatherings, special events, travel and other situations that may experience security incidents, it’s important to help our loved ones think about the potential of threats, being prepared, and having an age-appropriate security mindset.

Miss Kaylani’s Bio. Hi, everyone, my name is Kaylani Herrera. I’m seven years old, currently in the second grade and attend Saint Helena Catholic school. I am your 2023-2024 NM Cinderella state Tot. I recently started competing in the natural pageant world. At my first pageant I was crowned the Lea County overall tot, from there I went on to compete at the state level pageant that was held in June and won the overall New Mexico tot ages 4-6 along with New Mexico State talent competition and first alternate cameo. When I am not busy fulfilling my queen duties, I also am a dancer and Gymnast. I recently competed in my first gymnastics meet and won 4th place overall for my age division. I enjoy spending time with my sister and parents, playing with my dog Dallas as well as talking with my Gpa (Mark Herrera) about how to make the world a safer place.
