Rhiannon Dressel-Beattie of Crawfordville was recently crowned Miss Teen Florida International 2013.

She’ll compete for the title of Miss Teen International in July at the Northshore Performing Arts Center in Chicago, IL.  Contestants of the Miss Teen International pageant will compete in the areas of evening gown, aerobic wear, fun fashion wear and personal interview.

Dressel-Beattie, a home schooled student, will promote her platform of Helping Hearts during her reign as Miss Teen Florida International and if she should capture the International crown.  She chose this platform after her father passed away last July of a heart attack.  “My platform, Helping Hearts, was inspired by him and his death,” says Dressel-Beattie “as well as the experience of helping a loved one with heart disease.”

Dressel-Beattie is the daughter of Roxann Dressel and the late Dan Stockwell. 

Although she enjoys competing in pageants this busy teen loves giving back to her community.  “I was recently a volunteer at the Eden Springs Nursing Home Fundraising event, which raised money for the resident prom,“ she says.  “They asked me to be volunteer manager of their country store which is open to serve the residents.  Giving her mother credit for raising her to help others before helping herself, Dressel-Beattie has won numerous awards for her community involvement including International Leadership Network’s Young Achiever 2012, Relay for Life Star Supporter 2011, Presidential Volunteer Service Award – Gold Level 2010 and World Youth Federation’s Humanitarian Award 2007.

The Miss Teen Florida Pageant is the preliminary to the Miss Teen International Pageant, which is held annually in Chicago, IL.  The Miss International system was developed to promote today's young women, their accomplishments, and commitment to family and community.  Around the world women are finding this system to be the opportunity to work to become positive role models.
