I am a 18 year old senior at Collegedale Academy, in Collegedale, Tennessee. I love playing the piano, the organ, singing, and hanging out with my friends, but I am happiest when I am on the stage. I volunteer a lot at our local community theatre and have acted in many of the productions.
I have spent the last two summers studying acting in New York City and plan to return next fall to continue with my studies.
My Platform -- Teen Alcohol and Drug Abuse
It is my believe that one of the most challanging things teenagers today face is the decision on whether to experiment in drugs and/or alcohol. In my reign as Miss Tennessee Teen America, I hope to show young teenagers that they do have a choice....they can say NO. I have teamed with Powerhouse Youth Project to help educate the students of Tennessee about the choices that they will be facing everyday in their lives.
I hope to be able to provide them with the insight and the desire to say no to peer pressure and become individuals capable of making wise decisions. Although I am only eighteen I have seen the harmful effects alcohol and drugs can have on your lives and I hope to be able to use that experience to help others.

Wow! I'm eighteen now. I use to think I couldn't wait to turn eighteen, but something inside of me wants to stay a "little girl."
