Heather was selected to represent Tarrant County in the pageant after her win at the Miss Teen Southlake Pageant, which was held on January 5, 2008. The winner of the Miss Teen Texas Scholarship Pageant will receive $4,000.00 in US Savings Bonds. Tickets for the preliminary competitions being held on July 1 - 3 and the Miss Teen Texas Scholarship Pageant on July 5 can be obtained by contacting Central Ticket Office at 817-335-9000 or www.centralticketoffice.com

Heather is a student at Brook Hill High School in Bullard and began competing in area pageants in 2008. Her service platform is S.T.A.R.T. – Stand Tall And Resist Temptation. She chose this platform due to her own struggle as a young child with issues of being overweight and being made fun of by her peers. Heather encourages students to feel good about them selves and to find ways to improve their quality of life. She also discourages the temptation to bully or make fun of others who are different than yourself.
