It was an incredible honor to be chosen by my peers as Tennessee’s Homecoming Queen in 2003. This recognition wasn’t just about a crown—it was a reflection of the relationships, leadership, and community spirit that shaped my high school years. Representing Tennessee through America’s Homecoming Queen was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that instilled in me a lasting passion for encouraging young women to lead with confidence, compassion, and authenticity.

About America's Homecoming Queen
America’s Homecoming Queen began in 1981, and is a very unique Selection, since participation is by invitation only. To qualify, you must be a high school homecoming queen, football or basketball and have never participated in America’s Homecoming Queen Selection before. This means that each queen participates only once, and every year there is a different group of girls competing for the state and national title. In most pageants you have girls who have been there before, and this gives them an advantage. America’s Homecoming Queen Selection eliminates all politics, since all of the girls are competing for the first time.
