This Florida native loves the water and is a competitive swimmer.  Meet our reigning Miss American Teen, Anisha Andapally!  Anisha is an academic scholar who is active in her school and hopes to be an inspiration to others. She says, "In my life I strive for knowledge. I believe knowledge and education give you the power to do and accomplish anything."

Her platform is to be a voice for children and building self-esteem in young women. "Children are the future of our country and I am passionate about helping those in need. I am a youth ambassador of Akshaya Patra' which is a nonprofit organization that helps kids in India have a good education by providing them with food. We believe no child should let go of an education because of hunger."  Understanding that women face many challenges in our society, Anisha strives to educate others on these topics and help women and girls feel confident.
