Miss Sevier County's Teen

06/10/2026

For me being is spending time outdoors with my dad. Whether we’re hiking, backpacking through the woods, or exploring on our bikes, those adventures challenge me physically while letting me unplug and recharge.

One of my favorite traditions is our annual trip to Deep Creek with family friends. I was so lucky to spend this past weekend there, and it was the perfect way to prepare for Miss Tennessee’s Teen.

I love floating down the river, finding breathtaking views, and spending quiet moments relaxing in my hammock. In a world that is constantly busy, those moments remind me to slow down and appreciate God’s creation.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” That verse is a reminder that finding stillness is just as important as staying active. Taking time to rest and reconnect allows me to return stronger, more focused, and ready for whatever comes next.

Join me in Nashville, June 18-20 as I compete for the title of Miss Tennessee’s Teen.

The Miss Tennessee Countdown continues with more send off parties!

Tonight, I had a blast celebrating my very first Miss from when I was a Tennessee's TriStar. Eliza Sanders has been such a big part of my life and is one of the reasons I started competing in the Miss Tennessee’s Teen program.

Sisterhood is one of the foundations of the Miss America Opportunity, and for me, that sisterhood started with Eliza. I am so grateful for her friendship, encouragement, and mentorship, and I can’t wait to cheer her on as she competes for Miss Tennessee!

People’s Choice voting is officially LIVE, and I am so excited for this part of my journey to Miss Tennessee’s Teen Competition!

This is such a special opportunity because it is about more than just votes. It is a chance to support the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Competition while also helping me share my heart for my Community Service Initiative, Be Her Hero. Through this work, I am focused on ending period poverty by increasing access, expanding education, and advocating for change across Tennessee.

Even more exciting, the People’s Choice winner automatically advances into the Top 12, which makes every single vote so impactful.

Every vote helps me get one step closer to the finals and gives me a bigger platform to make a difference.

If you feel led to support me, I would be so grateful as I continue chasing this dream!

Thank you to the Capitol Theatre of Greeneville for sponsoring my rehearsal space as I prepare for the onstage parts of Miss Tennessee’s Teen.

The Capitol Theatre has been such an important part of my theatre journey, so having a place to prepare for Miss Tennessee’s Teen that feels like home means so much to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to rehearse on a stage where I have learned, grown, and created so many special memories.

As someone who is deeply obsessed with Hamilton, I think I finally understand what it means to “be in the room where it happens.”

Being a titleholder in the Miss America Organization gives me a seat at the table, a voice in the conversation, and a chance to make a real impact. A crown doesn’t just sparkle it opens doors, builds community, and reminds me that leadership starts with showing up.

I am so excited that, because of the incredible support of family and friends, we not only met my $330 goal for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign, but we more than doubled it, raising $700 so far!

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this cause. Your support is making a difference in the fight against heart disease.

There is still time to donate, and every gift helps!

Thank you for being the heartbeat of change!
