Miss Georgia

Jena Michelle Sims

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Hunted rattlesnakes. I've learned how to hunt, milk, and correctly hold a rattlesnake at the annual Rattlesnake Round-up held in Georgia. These round-ups collect venom and deliver it to the American Cancer Society's labs for research and treatment. This is especially interesting to me because I've worked with ACS over the past eight years and raised $84,000 for cancer research.

If you could have lunch with any one (1) person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Walt Disney. He was a very creative person. I would ask him where he found his inspiration for some of the Disney classics. Like Mr. Disney, I enjoy making kids happy.

What would be your "dream job" in life?
Becoming 2007 Miss Teen USA

Name one personal accomplishment (IN ADDITION to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
Having my own 501(c)3 non-profit organization through which I hold pageants for children with cancer and serious illnesses across the United States. My pageant is important because everyone leaves a winner. In my eyes -- no matter if they are bald, pale, or thin -- they are all beautiful to me.
