Carley wanted to participate in the Miss LSU-USA Pageant because, “it was something out of my comfort zone. It brought me back to my competitive cheerleading days making my heart pound, blood rush through my veins.” She says she is anxious to step on stage and compete for a prize again.
She is most looking forward to gaining 19 new best friends from the group of women participating in the pageant. She says “the atmosphere of being surrounded by these empowering and beautiful women has not been as daunting to me as I had imagined it would be in the beginning.”
