Junior Miss Lake County Illinois State 2023
Keerthu Gummuluru
Hi everybody! I am Keerthu Gummuluru and I am so thrilled to announce that I am your Jr.Miss Lake County 2023!
I am 14 years old and I am currently a freshman at my high school. Some clubs that I am part of are the Student Council, The Indian Student Association club and the Future Doctors of America club! Outside of school I enjoy doing Taekwondo and Hip Hop. I also attend Chinmaya Mission on the weekends to learn more about my Indian Culture because I never want to forget my roots.
I love to serve my community through my platform Willing Hands for Kids. My platform started with a virtual summer camp that my friends and I made through lock down, but later I realized how much I love working with kids, which developed into my platform Willing Hands for Kids!
This year I hosted my own event where I gathered queens across Lake County to make goodies for foster children on Valentines day! We ended up making 40 goodies, which included coloring books, socks, color pencils and a kind note from the queens to ensure the kids that we are always there for them. Now, I also work with my partner organizations Feed My Starving Children and Fill-A-Heart for Kids!
This year as Jr. Miss Lake County, I plan to host more events and spread the message that you are never too young to change the world with my platform Willing Hands for Kids. I am beyond excited to serve as your new Jr. Miss Lake County and cannot wait to make amazing memories and to represent Lake County with my sister queens!
