We asked Ava a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageant that she will be competing in.

How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it’s getting closer? I’m feeling excited about the pageant! I’ve been working hard and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone.

How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA? This is my first time competing, but I think my pageant preparation is going well. I’ve worked hard and am now just focusing on the small details and getting everything organized.

What are you most excited about? I’m the most excited about the fashion. I’ve modeled the past several years and enjoy walking the runway and all of the beautiful clothes.

Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to? My family and friends have made this opportunity possible for me. I am so grateful for them!
