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.
During her undergraduate career, Elle 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. |
