Miss West Virginia

Kristin Morrison

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
I kissed the winner of a pig race! My county fair is a "junior" fair so the people actually working with the animals are kids. The MC was looking for a way to liven up the annual pig race and suggested I give a kiss to the winning pig. I just couldn't say no to all those laughing kids!

What charity/charities have you supported with your time and/or resources over past two years?
Big Brothers, Big Sisters Christmas Tree Drive: I helped raise money for this organization and typically volunteer 6-10 hours a year. "Be Cool About Fire Safety" Campaign: I went into local schools to speak to children about fire safety. 4 hours a week.
Operation: Save a Child's Life: I helped to organize a car seat drive for the children in Cabell County. It is so important that parents have access to safe car seats that are appropriate for their children's height and weight. Sadly, many parents aren't able to afford the car seats they need. 2 hours a week.
I organized a Longaberger Basket Bingo to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Typically spent 5 hours a week working on this fundraiser.
Red Cross Blood Drive Volunteer. 10-15 hours a year.


What would be your "dream job" in life?
Owning my own independent insurance agency is my ultimate dream job in life!

Name one personal accomplishment (in addition to being a State Titleholder) that makes you especially proud.
I'm very proud of the fact that I have been able to work full-time as an insurance agent, go to college full-time and still find time to volunteer for many charitable organizations. I believe that hard work will only make you a better person, so I work hard everyday to help bring me one step closer to my goals in life.
