She also continues to give back to the community as a mentor to young girls and a volunteer coordinator for an organization founded by her mother entitled Dream Big Georgia.
Kristen is extremely grateful for the opportunities that pageants have afforded her as she has been featured as a hair care model for Dudley Hair Care Company and a model for Jovani Fashions and MacDugal. She is passionate about the arts and was an active participant in her University's theatre program starring in the University's Production of Raisin in the Sun and The Amen Corner.

Kristen is extremely excited to hold the title of Miss Florida and promote her platform of Women's Health and Youth Leadership Development.
She stands behind the movement of #RedefineBeautiful to serve as an ambassador for changing the stigma of what society considers to be the standard of beauty. She instead wants to change the conversation from physical appearance and highlight the power of women while embracing their diversity and strength.
