Ashley Cetnarowski is a candidate in the state of Michigan! She is a student at Lansing Community College about to graduate in the spring with a two year degree in Elementary Education. She plans to begin substitute teaching next fall while continuing her education toward a bachelor's degree. Her end goal is to be a public school early elementary teacher. She competed in pageants throughout my teen years, where she participated in one local MAOT title in high school. At the time, she did not realize the power of writing as a talent, and was too insecure in that portion of competition to continue in MAOT. After being retired for several years and seeing the direction MA 2.0 was moving in, she decided to step out of her comfort zone, pick up a pen, and get involved now as a Miss. Her talent is a spoken word poem that she wrote about my experience as a “mid-size” woman. She has now been competing as a Miss for about 7 months, entering every local that she is eligible for, loving every moment!Through the organization and her future career, she has developed my social impact initiative Read, Succeed, Lead, which works to bridge the literacy gap by making literature available to children and families for free.
