WHAT ELSE?
Elle is a professional vocalist, and when she isn’t performing or “crowning around,” Elle can be found enjoying a quiet walk by the Mississippi River, relaxing a local coffee shop, or training her rescue pup, Willmar Taffy. Elle will compete for the title of Miss America on December 16, 2021 at the Mohegan Sun Resort in Connecticut. This is a very special year as the Miss America Organization will celebrate its milestone 100th anniversary! |
Gabrielle “Elle” Mark competed for the title of Miss Minnesota and ultimately earned the job of a life time on June 25th, 2021. She is an honors graduate from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse with her Bachelors degree in Public Health & Community Health Education. To date, Elle has been awarded over $20,000 in educational scholarships through the Miss America Organization.
During Elle's undergraduate career, she spent a significant amount of time researching and performing health education programming surrounding the topics of mental health and wellness as well as the prevention of mental distress. Elle’s passion for promoting mental wellness stems from her personal experience with mental health disorders. In an effort to help others through the struggles she encountered with mental illness, Elle became involved with the Miss America Organization. The Miss America Organization provided her with the platform and the opportunity to reach more people, and to share her personal mental health journey to help to guide others through theirs. As Miss MInnesota, Elle has partnered with The Campaign to Change Direction to promote their 5 Healthy Habits of Emotional Well-Being. You can find her speaking in local schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, and businesses. These 5 Healthy Habits focus on preventing mental distress through the promotion of activities that can improve everyone’s mental health. |
