What is the charity you chose to represent?

The National Foundation for Teen Safe Driving. I chose this charity because it will help reduce the number of teen tragedies. We as teen drivers face many new challenges in an unfamiliar environment. This foundation is dedicated to reducing the number of automobile accidents by promoting safe driving and passenger safety through leadership, education, and awareness. LLK.

What has been the best part about being on the Homecoming Court?

The best part about being on homecoming court is sharing this experience with 11 other amazing ladies.

It is a special bond that I will forever be grateful for!
