What is the best thing about being Miss Eastern Dakota?

I love the fact that I've been given the opportunity to represent my

community. The Miss America Organization allows me to share

my platform and passion, Arts Advocacy, with a large audience on

a regular basis. Through my leadership role at the North Dakota

Ballet Company, I'm able to be a role model for young students in

the arts and I continue to enjoy the broadened influence as a role

model my experience as MIss Eastern Dakota provides.

I am confident in my leadership skills and excited to use those

skills to spread my platform's message throughout the entire state. North Dakota needs to know the importance of the arts and I feel that I am just the leader to communicate that. Being Miss North Dakota would be the most amazing experience of my life!
