Platform Issue
Since adopting her platform, "Go Wild! Exploring and Protecting out National Forest," Eileen has coordinated many events that have raised community excitement about the outdoors, and encouraged people to volunteer for their local forest service. Eileen has also joined Smokey Bear visiting schools around New Hampshire talking about the dangers of Wild Fires and how we as humans can prevent them. As Miss New Hampshire’s Outstanding Teen, she will continue to promote her platform to ensure that our nature's beauty is preserved and experienced by every child and teen across America.
