About Grace, Miss Spirit of Texas 2026

---

I am so thrilled to serve as Miss Spirit of Texas and represent all that means on the Miss Texas stage this year! 

I joined the Miss Texas Organization because I believe in the power of equipping and encouraging young women to be who they were made to be. That was just over two years ago and I can, with full confidence, say this opportunity has changed my life. 

After last year's state competition, I am proud to say I finished as the Overall Interview Winner and in the Top 12 with the Best of Texas Silver Level recognition. I was also the receipiant of the Tatum Hubbard Visionary Scholarship. All of these together totaling over $3,000 in scholarship dollars. 

But more than the money and awards, I came  with a full heart, a lifetime of memories, and truly special friendships. PLUS I loved it so much, we're doing it again!! 

During my year as Miss Southlake, I look forward to advocating for my community service initiative, Live out L.O.U.D., connecting with kids through my school program, and sharing my original HERstory with audiences across the Lone Star State. 

So far this year, I have had the honor of sharing my school program with over 100 students, giving the opening session keynote at a conference with over 800 collegiate women, and launched an interview series called "What She Said."

Follow along on socials to keep up with the adventure! 

Miss Arlington '24:  Top 15 placement, non-finalist interview award, outstanding social media, and Best of Texas Gold Level recognition. Totalling $2,500 in scholarship dollars.
