My S.E.R.V.E. initiative is SherCares: Advocating for Athletes and Mental Health. Through SherCares, I aim to raise awareness about mental health issues among student athletes and provide resources. My goal is to expand this initiative both at the state and national levels. During my reign as Miss Virginia Teen Volunteer, I plan to support and promote partnerships with The Salvation Army, Amtrak VA, Jubilee Family Development Center, D.A.R.E, St. Jude, and YOVASO through volunteering, community education, and promotional appearances. I’m passionate about my community, promoting a healthy lifestyle, mental health, inclusion, and athletics. In my free time, I love cheerleading, working out, and line dancing. As Miss Virginia Teen Volunteer, I’m excited to make a meaningful impact on my community and Virginia as a whole.
