Hi! My name is Maura Erickson and I am the newly crowned Miss Moorhead Outstanding Teen! I am 15 years old and I am a sophomore at New Prague High School. I am involved in band and gymnastics. I started gymnastics when I was 2 years old and this year will be my 6th year competing. I am currently on my high school gymnastics team. I competed varsity vault and floor last year, and went to state as a team. In band, I play the flute and I have been playing for 5 years. I am part of the highest level band, which is meant for upperclassmen.

​​I started my journey in the Miss America Organization when I was 8 years old as a Northern Lights Princess. I was a princess in the program for 5 years. When I was 12, I went to Orlando to participate in the Princess Camp at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen. I gained lots of experience with going to appearances and public speaking when I was a National Princess. The next year I attended the Teens in Training program down at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen. While I was there, I learned about what it takes to compete in the teen program and it convinced me to compete.
My Social Impact Initiative is “No Paw Left Behind.” It is, advocating for pet adoption. I volunteer at Carver Scott Humane Society every other week, and I regularly collect donations to bring to other shelters in the Twin Cities area. Because I love animals so much, I work at a dog kennel. I get to go there and play with the dogs, and cuddle with the cats! My favorite part is watching dogs reunite with their owners because I know that they are going back home with a loving owner. Throughout my year I will continue to volunteer at the local Humane Society, and I will reach out to more shelters to see how I can help.
