2023 bio:

Miss Alabama Teen USA 2023 Kensey Collins’ story began in Hoover, Alabama. At an early age her family was relocated to South Alabama and she now calls Spanish Fort her home. Kensey is a freshman at Spanish Fort High School where she was selected for the National Junior Honor Society last year and is currently enrolled in several honors classes. She’s a member of her high school cheerleading squad and loves to support her school.
In 2019 Kensey was a proud participant in RPM’s Fantasy Camp and fell in love with the process. It was one of the reasons she chose to pursue this opportunity in pageantry. She hopes to inspire other girls to try new things, dream big, and to follow their own unique journey with God.
Kensey plans to one day run her own design business and loves to upcycle clothes in her spare time. She is currently working with a sewing coach to continue to broaden her skills in this area.
She has placed this journey in God’s hands and feels incredibly blessed at the opportunities ahead of her.
She’s excited to be representing our wonderful State of Alabama and promises to work hard, gain knowledge, and serve others as much as possible.
