Speaking at Miss Arkansas' Send Off Party for Miss America
My platform is Giving Children Hope Through A Smile. My father is a prosthodontist, which is a specialized dentistry. I have grown up seeing the work he has done and lives he has changed by creating beautiful smiles. Each year more than 200,000 children are born with cleft lip and cleft pallet. These facial deformities often cause the children to not be able to eat or speak properly. In many countries the children are shunned and hidden away. It is my goal to spread awareness about the difference a beautiful smile can make in ones life. To do this I have partnered with Operation Smile raising funds for this cause. I go into schools to spread awareness about O.S. as well as to educate children on proper dental care. I have also traveled on medical dental mission trips to Honduras to assist my father in the dental work he does.
The University of Central Arkansas aspires to be a premiere learner-focused public comprehensive university, a nationally recognized leader for its continuous record of excellence in undergraduate and graduate education, scholarly and creative endeavors, and engagement with local, national, and global communities. I am proud to be the representative for this university that I love. Visit www.uca.edu for more information about UCA.
