EMMAREE JO GARNER

BRAND AMBASSADOR BIO:

My name is Emmaree Jo Garner; my friends call me Emme Jo. I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. I live in Taylors, South Carolina, with my parents, brother, our dog, and three cats. I enjoy doing pageants as well as modeling, both print and runway. I enjoy playing outside as much as possible and have recently begun riding horses! Rainbow and all things teal are my favorite colors. My other favorite hobbies are aerial silks, tumbling, and any kind of art or craft! My hardest work this year went towards improving my interview and community service abilities, which helped me win the national title of America's International Young Miss 2023.

 FUN FACT:

The stage and runway are where I feel at home. I have been modeling for 4 years. This includes local fashion shows, print modeling, commercials, magazines, and billboards. I have even gotten to experience NYFW three times and have been on a Times Square billboard!

GET TO KNOW ME:

I have been competing in pageants since the age of 3 at the local, state, and national level, earning titles and awards for competition, volunteering, donations, and fundraising, which includes three presidential awards. I have been awarded two national titles in my pageant career. Most recently, I was honored to be crowned with the national title of America's International Young Miss 2023! Pageants have been a wonderful part of my life and have taught me so much about being an independent young lady. They have provided me with the opportunity to form lifelong friendships with other young ladies and role models who inspire me. I have grown so much in my confidence and abilities to speak in public as well as to speak up for myself.
