Miss Arizona Teen USA 2020 Molly Schwanz was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. During high school, Molly was Student Body President and graduated a semester early. She began attending ASU in Spring 2019 where she is currently in the WP Carey School of Business and a member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority. As Miss Arizona Teen USA she plans on making this the best year ever by expanding her charity Kindles for Kids at Phoenix Children’s Hospital spreading random acts of kindness. Last April, she found herself on the other side of good health after finding lumps in her left arm. The lumps were blood clots landing her in the ICU and requiring the removal of her top rib and months of blood thinner shots. Her condition was complicated with side effects of fatigue and hair loss. Her experience has made her even more convinced and committed to how important random acts of kindness are to the human body and spirit when experiencing a medical condition. She plans on using her platform as Miss Arizona Teen USA to continue to provide even greater random acts of kindness to the patients at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

When Molly has free time she enjoys relaxing at home with her family and hanging out with close friends and her horses. She is an avid equestrian and holds several National Champion Titles. Her love of horses is where she first learned the power of kindness and has carried that with her throughout her life.
