The Tree Hugger Project

My CSI is The Tree Hugger Project. Through this initiative, I am working to both educate and encourage our youth to join me in preserving our environment. Already i've been able to plant 100's of trees and speak to 3,000+ students across our state. As Miss North Carolina's Teen I am excited to share my personal book, Just One Little Fox, to classrooms across North Carolina and create a lasting impact on my community and state through partnerships and brand deals. I am confident that I can create a forest of well-educated young boys and girls across my community, state, and country.

Staying #MissAmericaFit

My favorite way to stay #MissAmericaFit is through dance. I've been dancing since I was 3 years old, so for me this is so much more then just a movement, it's a lifestyle. When I have free time I love spending it at home with my family and friends!
