Secondly, social media is essential for encouraging positive conversation among teen audiences about the MAO program and women's issues, while potentially reaching a national and global audience. Lastly, I would love to create a grass-roots tour across the United States, where I am able to use my speech and in-person communication skills to spread awareness about the MAO program as well as fundraise for CMNH. How would I promote the Miss Arizona Organization? I truly love the MAO organization and have experienced huge personal growth from the two years I have spent with the program. I strive to be the role model who represents what this organization stands for: scholarship, communication, community service and talent. I am a firm believer in leading by example and I hope to inspire teens to want to know more about our organization through my own actions. I will also utilize my communication skills attained through speech and debate to encourage young women to join the program at school, community meetings, public events and on social media platforms. I will recruit more candidates to join me, so that they can experience the benefits of the MAO program. Of all the ways you could succeed in your life, why have you chosen to succeed in the Miss Arizona Competition? This program does not limit my various pursuits, but expands my opportunities for self-improvement, and provides even greater avenues for me to tell others about “TAP” Into Lifelong Volunteerism. The Miss Arizona Organization has also taught me that hard work, dedication and sacrifice are the key for a successful life.
