Hello!

I am Jessica Minch, 24 year resident of St Augustine, Florida. I am honored and excited to be Miss North Central Florida USA 2010! Thank you so much to my family, loved ones and sponsors who've helped me make it this far.

In 2006, I graduated from Flagler College with a degree in Business Administration and minor in Economics. I currently work as the Supply Chain Manager for Dat'l Do-It, a datil pepper hot sauce and gourmet food company in St. Augustine, FL. With an entrepreneurial heart and mind, I keep myself busy by running two small ventures; Paw Prints Paintings- painting portraits of your beloved pets, and Your Soiree- event planning and coordinating. I am animal lover and have two energetic doggies, Mini Dachshund- Coco (after Coco Chanel of course), and Jack Russell- Sam. I enjoy volunteering for the Sea Turtle Washback program, Keepers of the Coast, and St Johns County Habitat Conservation.

One of my many passions is conserving our environment. As an advocate for Going Green, I believe that every individual can make a difference through small, simple changes in their lifestyle. With this title, I hope to impact Florida by spreading awareness and encouraging others to reduce their environmental impact. Check out my blog for great tips and eye-opening facts on environmental preservation: www.gogreenus.blogspot.com, and start going green today by shopping with reusable bags.

When I do have a free moment, I value time with my family and friends. I've recently discovered a love for painting, and occasionally make it to the dance studio for a ballet class! I love walking my dogs on the beach or at the dog park, traveling, writing, and of course shopping!

Finally, I cannot wait to get started on my journey as a USA titleholder. I am looking forward to working with Chelsee and her team to prepare for Miss Florida USA this July! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I hope that our paths will soon cross.

Positively,

Jessica Minch
