Laura Lee is from Brookhaven, Mississippi. She is a student at Mississippi State University majoring in Elementary Education. She has served on the Student Association Athletic Affairs and Community Relations Committees, is a 4 Corners Worship Leader, and is a member of MSU Fashion Board and Chi Omega Sorority. She loves performing and has been a featured performer in the Disney’s Christmas parade, MSU sporting events, and the Miss Missouri Pageant.

Laura Lee has competed in the Miss Mississippi’s Outstanding Teen Pageant and went on to win the title in the year of 2009. She was named 2nd runner up in the 2013 Miss Mississippi Pageant, in addition to being the preliminary swimwear winner. She will represent MSU as she competes for the title of Miss Mississippi this summer in Vicksburg.

As a local title holder and contestant in Miss Mississippi, Laura Lee’s platform issue is called “Mentoring Matters! “ Mentoring plays a positive role in youth’s lives and Laura Lee hopes to bring more awareness to the ways to mentor, by sharing her personal story of perseverance and the person who impacted her life. Mentoring Matters! is a program that works to cultivate partnerships with a number of local, state and national organizations in establishing more comprehensive resources for youth by offering a community-based approach to mentorship. Some of those programs include: FACE Family & Community Engagement Initiative, Boys & Girls Clubs, Girl Scouts, Mississippi Scholars and TeenTrendsetters.
