Maya Singh Crowned Miss Illinois Teen
Maya Singh of Hinsdale was crowned Miss Illinois Teen for ages 16-18 last month.
She will represent Illinois at the National Pageant in Orlando over Thanksgiving week.
Beyond the Nationals, Singh looks forward to engaging in philanthropic and community initiatives throughout the state, representing Hinsdale and Illinois with pride.
This honor follows a busy summer for Singh, during which she was elected the 84th governor of Girls State, collaborating with Sen. JB Pritzker on issues important to her generation.
She also worked with the local American Legion Auxiliary to elevate conversations around veterans' affairs and civic engagement.
"I'm deeply grateful for the support of my teachers, coaches, friends, and community, whose encouragement has made these experiences possible,"
Singh said, hoping more young people can experience causes like these through programs like Girls and Boys State.
