As for sports, I played back defender on my high school soccer team for two years. I love animals! I want to work at a zoo for a time, and even own a pet snake one day. I have enjoyed learning how to operate a camera, and while filming athletic events I have learned how important sports are to college students. I have three brothers and two sisters so I consider myself a professional babysitter. Another passion I have is working with young girls and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones.
What can you do during your Tenure of Service as a Titleholder to impact your community? I will use social media to share the need for food donations, and to let people know where the Blessing Boxes are located so they can drop off food. I will organize fundraisers and utilize those funds to purchase food. As your new titleholder, I will work diligently to utilize all avenues of social media to help promote the Miss Tennessee Volunteer program, and encourage others to be a part of this great organization.
