SEMI-FINALIST & MISS CONGENIALITY AT MISS TEEN USA

Daisy is an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Houston where she is studying journalism, and later plans to also study political science. She graduated from Papillion-LaVista South High School where she was active with numerous clubs and activities: President, Titan Inclusive; President, Play Production; Committee Chair, Black History Month; Committee Chair, Women’s History Month; Student Council Representative; Captain, Titanium Varsity Show Choir; Dance Mentor, Prep Show Choir; and Princess, Homecoming Court.

Daisy was also just as active within numerous organizations and activities in the community: Founder/CEO of “Girls Changing the World”, a non-profit organization to empower and encourage girls; Key Speaker at Omaha Women’s March 2020; Speaker for Inclusive Communities & Speaking of Happy; Recruitment Chair, Papillion Youth Council; Member of Police Athletics for Community Engagement (P.A.C.E.) Omaha; Member of Omaha Youth Salute; and Volunteer with Autism Puzzle Walk.

Daisy is a military child who has lived in multiple locations, but the one place that she called home which brought the most hardship and growth was Incirlik Turkey. After living in Turkey for 3 years where Daisy had learned from and embraced the Turkish culture, the threat to the Americans grew to the point that the American families were evacuated, separating Daisy from her mother. Daisy was not only scared for her mother’s safety but was fearful of life without her. Daisy’s sister moved to Germany to care for her until Daisy was able to reunite with her mother 4 months later as they moved to Nebraska.

Daisy is passionate about inclusion and advocating for people who the majority see as different because of how they look, walk and talk, who they love, how they identify, and how and who they worship. Daisy’s passion for diversity grew out of her sister’s transition to life as a transgender woman, which is a life that is sometimes threatened. Daisy believes that equality is EQUALITY, whether or not you agree with people’s life choices.
