“The Gift of Hope” and UWGSL
Throughout my year of service, I will devote my time to volunteering for my platform ” The Gift of Hope” which focuses on making a difference in the lives of children who face mental, emotional, and physical crisis’ and increasing volunteerism for the cause. I began volunteering for children in crisis long before I began pageants. I truly am passionate about this cause and plan to continue volunteering for it long after I have aged out of pageants.
Last year, I began working with United Way of Greater St. Louis ( UWGSL) as a teen advocate. As Miss Gateway St. Louis Outstanding Teen 2010, I will be continuing my work with this organization, as well as many others.
