While many little girls dream of someday donning a pageant queen’s crown, Summerfield’s Julie Tesh, Miss North Carolina International, wasn’t inspired to enter the pageant life until she was a freshman in college at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
“I’d never thought about doing pageants before,” says 23-year-old Tesh, who will graduate in December with undergraduate degrees in political science and communications. “I just jumped in, and I happened to do well, and I kept doing it. It’s been great.”
Tesh also volunteers in the Mentoring of Children of Prisoners Program, and works weekly with a child whose father is currently incarcerated. She volunteered in Washington, D.C., from August to December 2008, where she served as an intern in the legislative branch, then in the executive Office of the President in political affairs. Previously, she interned at U.S. Congressman Howard Coble’s office.
