Katelynne Cox

Miss DC America 2019

There are a lot of words to describe Katelynne Cox – Renaissance Woman, Force of Nature and a Prodigy. However this year, the title she will use is Miss District of Columbia. Cox has made a conscious decision to not be limited or defined by a history of trauma. She prefers to set high goals to create a new, positive chapter for herself while also giving back to those who need it most.

She was the first in her family to attend college, enrolling at 15. After completing a bachelor's of fine arts she used her Miss America scholarships to complete two Graduate Certificates in Nonprofit and Public Management from the University of Missouri.

She has already completed successful careers as a signed recording artist and television anchor and producer for before moving to Washington, DC.

She now, seemingly effortlessly, balances a career as a civil servant and her MBA studies all while personally raising over $45,000 for Children’s Hospitals. She is the manager of fundraising and events at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation as well as the Founder and Executive Director of Silence Is Not Compliance: an organization that rehabilitates rape survivors, lobbies for victim first legislation and educates children on sexual violence prevention. In her spare time, she enjoys kitchen karaoke, dancing as a Red Rocker for the 2018 Stanley Cup Champions, the Washington Capitals and jogging through the city with her two rescued labradors.

Guest of the week

Hillary May

Miss Delaware 2019

https://www.missde.org

Hillary is a 23 year old PhD student at the University of Delaware studying Education and Learning Sciences. Her research is currently focusing on how young children learn through play. She is also working on validating a digital language screener for two year olds her lab recently developed. Hillary originally got her Bachelor's degree in Psychology with minors in Philosophy, Chemistry, and Neuroscience from Butler University. Her ideal job is to be part of the development department of a network like PBS helpingto create new educational programming for children ages 3-5.

Having battled depression herself, in addition to having been personally impacted by a suicide loss, Hillary's social impact initiative revolves around creating open and honest conversation about mental health. In doing this, she volunteers with the Delaware chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention as a volunteer and trained "Talk Saves Lives" presenter. She thinks it's so important though, to also remember those individuals who remain after a suicide loss. AFSP has a number of resources for surviving friends and family members, but Hillary wanted to be more involved than that. Hillary also volunteers for Supporting KIDDS, the only grief center for children in the entire state of Delaware. With KIDDS, Hillary facilitates the Healing Pathways group therapy series for children ages 5-16 who have lost a parent or sibling. As a facilitator though, Hillary most enjoys working with the parents. She loves being able to provide parents with the skills she has learned to help them better understand and respond to their children's behaviors at home.

While Hillary danced from age 3-18, she has been singing non-stop since birth. For Miss Delaware she performed I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady. Singing has always been Hillary's true talent and has opened many doors for her. In high school she was part of an all women's ensemble which consisted of 6 members. Angelus (the group) was dedicated to performing both sacred and secular music, polyphony, medieval chant, and pieces from the American sacred harp tradition. This professional group, which Hillarywas a part of from ages 15-18 travelled the United States performing concert tours. Hillary also performed in the New York premier of the song cycle Calling All Dawns, and was hand-picked by the composer to be a soloist in the Lincoln Center production at just 15 years old. She was invited to return to New York to sing in the subsequent song cycle The Drop that Contained the Sea in Carnegie Hall, but decided to accept an offer to dance in the 87th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade instead.

This is what I have, so let me know if you want anything different! Feel free to edit it to what you need as well!
