Americas Most Beautiful Jr Miss 2022

---

Maisie Adams is a Freshman at Mounds View High School in the Twin Cities of Minnesota where she recently expanded her athletic involvement as a member of the tennis team adding to her activities with Best Buddies and dance. Her favorite days are filled with a morning trip to Starbucks, English Bulldog cuddles (she has 4!), and seeking out the latest fashion finds online and at the mall. A hostess at heart, she loves creating special experiences for friends and family with a Rose Party recently added to her list of curated special events which have also included a social-distanced pandemic llama party, a red carpet crafting and cuisine night out and more. In her spare time she enjoys travelling  - especially road trips and tropical destinations; although a flight to the heat and sun of Arizona to visit her older brother is always a favorite (especially during the cold winter Minnesota months).

Fearless and fun-seeking from a young age, she began modeling at age six landing her first gig for Walmart nailing an audition and underwater apple bobbing shoot! She is excited to continue her modeling, acting and runway activities and will be featured at Dreaming Big Without Limits Fashion Show supporting Best Buddies. She is working towards completing her high school requirements early to chase the dream of becoming a real estate broker with ambitions to open the Paris office of the Oppenheim Group while also balancing an acting career and walking the runway in Europe and beyond for favorite designers from around the world.

Inspired by boss-babes Sarah Jessica Parker and Zendaya, Maisie believes if you are fearless, work hard and also have some fun along the way, it is possible to have all your dreams come true.

Achieving her goal of America's Most Beautiful Junior Miss 2022 has further inspired her to believe in herself, empower other young women and to believe something wonderful is always about to happen.
