State titleholders out in the community

The Miss Teen United States-World and The Miss Teen World Pageants believes that pageants are to provide young ladies with various opportunities to take part in worth while community events. We as an organization also understand that TEENS have various interests and needs. Whether or not Miss Teen United States-World or Miss Teen World would like to be a community activist for a cause she believes in, a model or actress or just a student pursuing her educational dreams, we will support whatever decision she makes.
I believe that there are enough pageants that specify the importance of scholarship, community service, acting, modeling and platforms. The Miss Teen World Organization however is not one of them! I believe that each young lady is a representative of her own convictions and we as an organizations job is to nurture what ever the titleholders goals are regardless if they are different from the typical pageant organizations expectations are, that's what makes our pageant more unique and progressive!
I created the Miss Teen World & Miss Teen United States-World pageants as a symbol of pageants from yesteryear! I love the idea of bringing the glamour and excitement back to pageants. I personally do not care whether Miss Teen World or Miss Teen United States-World is six feet tall or 4 feet tall, whether or not she is blond, brunette or a red head, what nationality she comes from or what her families economic situation is. A pageant winner is selected because the judges see that unique quality she possesses, that “IT” factor, the charm she has with people or the compassion she shares in her interview. Miss Teen World & Miss Teen United States-World will be selected by the judges and their beliefs in her ability to do the best job she can!
My goal for this program is to provide a young lady with a year of opportunity, scholarship and memories that she will be proud to share with titleholders after her year is over!
I am honored to have a network of amazing volunteers, staff members, state and national directors that live with the same beliefs as I do. Organizations grow when they are run with a network of people who believe in the same things! We as an organization want to be the most recognized pageant for Teens!
