Who was once a shy, insecure, and anxiety-ridden young girl is now a confident, accomplished, and qualified woman ready to serve as the next Miss Florida, turning from dreamer into achiever.

Halle started her journey with the Miss America Organization when she was 6 years old by getting involved in the Florida Sunshine Program. Gracing the Miss Florida stage at a young age with her mentor, Kasey, turned her into a lifelong fan. At age 12, she had the opportunity to walk the Miss America’s Teen stage as a part of the Miss America’s Little Sister Program, and the experience heightened her love.

It wasn’t until college that she finally had the courage to take a leap of faith and compete for her dream job. Halle is confident that this decision is the best one she’s ever made.

Her road to Miss Florida wasn’t always an easy one, as she competed at three prelims to qualify her first year. But her perseverance and determination are what took her from Top 15 to placing as Miss Florida Second Runner Up within a year’s span.

After four years as a local titleholder, she has traveled thousands of miles and put thousands of scholarship dollars toward pursuing higher education. She was the Miss Florida 2023 Social Media Scholarship Recipient, Miss Florida 2024 Preliminary Talent Winner and overall Second Runner Up, Miss Florida 2025 Spirit of Florida Volunteerism Scholarship Recipient, CSI Top Five Finalist, Preliminary Health & Fitness Winner, and overall Second Runner Up.

Aside from her accolades on and off stage, she is most proud of the personal progress this journey has provided her and is excited to pay it forward for the next generation as an official mentor in the organization.

Halle is the product of what pouring into Miss America does for both you and those you choose to surround yourself with, and she is more than ready to share her story as its ambassador.
