For Audrey Kittila of Milton, the Miss Georgia crown is more than a title; it’s a platform to live out her faith and inspire change.
“My faith is where I find my hope and my joy. My relationship with Christ has given my life purpose. I always tell people that my life’s purpose and goal is to ‘Know Christ and to make him known.’ Anything I get to do is an opportunity to touch the lives of others, that is the ultimate blessing.”
Her commitment to serving others is also seen through her initiative, Education for All, which works to reduce school dropout rates in Georgia. By partnering with nonprofits and speaking to thousands of students across the state, she encourages young people to stay in school and discover the value of education.
“A high school diploma (or GED) provides someone with the chance to choose a career that excites them. I want all students to have the option to pursue what brings them joy.”
With faith as her foundation and education as her mission, Audrey is using her voice to make a lasting impact. When her year as Miss Georgia comes to an end, she plans to keep serving in new ways.
“I will continue to live a life that is focused on service. After this year, my role will look different, but I will get the chance to continue supporting students in my career field and in my personal volunteer work. The mission to make a difference will continue!”
