Miss Teen Great Lakes AmeriFest

I attended The Lantern Festival at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The lanterns truly lit up the night, and my favorite is the red panda!

The Miss Great Lakes Festival Pageants / AmeriFest Pageants and Miss Ohio Festivals Pageant / AmeriFest Pageant royalty and staff would like to wish our Miss Teen Great Lakes AmeriFest, Marissa, the happiest of birthdays! We hope that you have the most incredible day!

I shared my love of baking by making cakes and brownies and donating them to St. Andrew's Parish Festival. Sending sweet thoughts to everyone!

Loving the sand and sunshine at Myrtle Beach! My family and I have spent lots of time at the pool, beach, Broadway at the Beach, Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show, and miniature golf at Cancun Lagoon.

I had a wonderful time at the Dublin Irish Festival. Sommer is a friend of mine and an Irish dancer. It was great watching her dance on stage!

I would like to give a warm and thankful shout-out to Journey to the Crown with Tiffany Porter! JTTC is a wonderful and generous sponsor for AmeriFest Pageants. At AmeriFest Nationals, Tiffany handed out these super cute bags! Tiffany is also my pageant coach and has helped me grow tremendously, even helping me place top three at Nationals! I value Tiffany and who she has helped me become. Thank you Journey to the Crown!

I am ecstatic to have placed in the top 3 on Supreme Row in the Teen Division at AmeriFest Nationals 2026! I also won the best fitness award and the prettiest hair award. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me on my journey. My pageant coach Tiffany Porter always encourages me and her expertise has helped me grow tremendously in pageants. My director Carrie Layne inspires and motivates me so that my true personality shines. My wonderful HMU artist Lily Brock helped me win the best hair award. I truly value all the friendships and memories I have made and will cherish them forever.

Evening gown is done and now we wait for crowning. A big shout out and thank you to Lily Brock for doing my hair and makeup!
