As a student at the University of North Dakota, I’ve worked on several different committees to reduce high-risk alcohol use. I’m very passionate about the issue of drinking and driving because I’ve seen how families have been affected. My older brother made the decision to get behind the wheel, which resulted in a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. This propelled me to reach as many people as possible and strive for the job of Miss North Dakota. Now that I’ve achieved that goal, I want to utilize the title of Miss America to reach citizens on a national level.
