Miss North Dakota

Chrissa Miller

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Trying to conquer my fear of heights! I did this by going on the most terrifying ride for me, Tower of Terror. Now to some, this may not seem crazy at all. But when I am deathly afraid of heights and I went on the ride 4 times in a row to experience the different drops and attempt to banish my fear, that's pretty crazy to me!

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years?
I was a volunteer tutor for a 3rd grade class at a North Dakota elementary school. I helped children with learning disabilities and assisted in class activities. I did this 3 days a week for an hour and a half during the duration of the school year. Roughly 162 hours.
I have contributed my time to a golf charity event tournament for the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). It is held once a year and I have helped out for 2 years now. The tournament lasts all day so I have worked 16 hours total there.

What would be your "dream job" in life?
Because I have so many different intrests, my dream job would consist of working in many things related to public relations. I would love to work in PR for the Universal Dance Association (UDA), a children's hospital, an art museum, or as an event planner

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
I am proud that I have lived my life the fullest it could possibly be. Being a dreamer since I was young, I have consistently set goals for myself and acheived them one by one through hard work and determination. By constantly welcoming new beginnings to my life, I have achieved happiness and fufillment that will only continue on in my future.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
I love to oil paint in my free time.
