1.
To be a unique person means you are one of a kind, no person is exactly like you. I believe what makes me special and unique is my confidence. I have gained this confidence from pageantry. When I was a little girl I was very shy and reserved, now I can talk to anyone I meet! Pageantry has brought out this confidence in me I never knew I had.

I enjoy many things in my life, but the thing I can not live without is definitely my ten animals! I absolutely love animals and hope to obtain my Doctor of Vetinary Medicine Degree in college. Speaking of animals, my platform is called Leashes Leading Love. The other two amazing ambassadors and I make leashes, homemade dog treats, pet clothes, and do many more things to donate to our local Humane Society. Animals will always be something I will not be able to live without!

I have many valued role models in my life but if I had to choose one it would be Katie Hodges, Miss Jackson Volunteer 2022. Katie and I have known each other for three years. I have had the amazing honor of being Katie's Iris princess for the past three years. Katie is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Katie is so silly and sweet, she was the perfect role model to choose!
