HARRISBURG, Pa. — Harrisburg native Miranda Moore was crowned Miss Pennsylvania in June, and now she's headed to Orlando, Florida to compete for Miss America.
Moore will compete in the 102nd Miss America competition for the title and thousands of dollars in scholarships. The competition will take place on Jan. 14.
"I can't lose," Moore said. "I either get to come home as Miss America or Miss PA, and I'm pretty thrilled about either."
Her community service initiative, "Take Action In Fashion," strives to educate people about the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry. Moore is focused on developing strong partnerships with sustainable organizations and nonprofits to protect the environment.
Moore also previously won Miss Central Pennsylvania.
"It really means a lot to me to get to see the whole state and get to meet all of these different people from the state that not only I call home but my family for generations has called home," Moore said.
