“I want to travel the state of Georgia, represent the organization, and show that you can do it all. You don’t have to be one thing or the other. I worked hard in school and I became valedictorian. But I also worked hard at pageants and became Miss Georgia Teen USA. You can do both. For a long time, I didn’t think you could.
