Realizing she could blend her love of the arts with her passion as an advocate for women in technology brought her to compete in the Miss America program, where she placed as a Top 10 finalist at the 2019 Miss America competition. Her personal journey, with poise and strength through a male-dominated field, immediately connects her to the young girls who participate in the DigiGirlz program nationally. She bridges the gap between right and left brain and opens up the field of technology for those who have never considered it, unveiling the opportunities within STEM fields by engaging in hands-on learning through interactive passion projects. ____________________________________ Host of the show Paul A.
