Victoria Miller is the daughter of Charlie and Teresa Miller, owners of Charlie’s Kabob Grill, a rising junior at Heritage High School, and currently Miss Wake Forest Teen USA 2015. She will be competing in October to run for the title of Miss North Carolina Teen USA 2015.
“My ambition is to one day attend UNC Medical School to become an OBGYN doctor. I would also love to win the title of Miss North Carolina Teen USA to promote my platform, The Canaan Orphanage, in hopes of motivating others to reach out, get involved, touch, and be touched by the lives of the children who live there. I plan to use my degree to travel back to Haiti and other third world countries to establish clinics, to provide prenatal care and OB services that the young women there so desperately need. I have a huge heart and have always loved reaching out and involving myself in the community and volunteering whenever I can. I have been a member of the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club since the third grade. I want to do great things in my community but by winning Miss North Carolina Teen USA 2015, I can hopefully have a better chance of reaching my goals and following my dreams of helping others, being a great role model for girls, and finally, representing the amazing town of Wake Forest, that has been my home now for almost nine years.”
She is looking for sponsors and funding. “Please like my face book page, “Miss Wake Forest Teen USA 2015” and help support me through my GoFundMe account: http://www.gofundme.com/misswakeforestteen.
