Miss Winona 2019 is Kayla Boettcher. This fall she will be a junior at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota majoring in environmental biology.

Kayla first became involved with the Miss America Organization in hopes of becoming more connected to the Winona community and, on a personal note, increasing her self-confidence. A big part of the Miss America Organization is giving back and promoting our social impact initiative, a project that we’re passionate about that will benefit our community. Her social impact initiative is called H2Whoa: Don’t Go With the Flow. Through this she wants to educate others on the importance of conserving water as well as understanding the role it plays in the world around us.

One way that she is hoping to increase awareness of these issues is to begin by educating school age children on easy ways to conserve water and where water goes after they are done using it. Kayla will be using recent research and lots of interactive activities to make it easier for others to take in the information. By giving community members a way to connect with the information, they’ll then be able to understand it better. From there they may be inspired to make small changes in their daily lives or even lifestyle changes to help conserve and protect the water in their area and beyond. Saving the entire world is an enormous prospect, but my hope is that by giving others the tools to make change that they can use them to transform their world.
