Outside of her service and professional life, Ivana enjoys exploring theme parks with her husband of eight years, Dan — with Dollywood and Disney World holding a special place in their hearts. She is also an enthusiastic gamer, finding joy and connection through her love of gaming.

As Mrs. Tennessee American 2025, Ivana continues to use her voice, her story, and her passion to empower women across Tennessee and beyond. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to inspire every woman to embrace her inner radiance, step into her confidence, and shine boldly in all that she does.
