Jessica talked with show hosts about MAOTeen as a scholarship organization and said her hope is to grow this point of the crown.
"We hear so many great stories of girls that could not have gone to college without our program," Jessica says. "One of my big initiatives as director of communications is to grow our scholarship program."
Jessica says there is more to the crown than beauty. Academic success, talent, and communication skills are also added into each contestant's score.
"There's so many different aspects that make a Miss America's Outstanding Teen, and it's truly what she can bring forth as far as her community service, her speaking skills, and how well she can represent our organization throughout the year," she says.
Rachel Wyatt overall is a relatable everyday teenager, and Jessica says she is a natural fit for MAOTeen 2013.
