Reese is a senior at Campbell R-2 High and recently represented our program at the Miss Missouri Teen Volunteer pageant where she placed in the top 5. Spurred by her own experience, Reese designed her own app, “Reese-ourses”, an anti-bullying app for kids and teens. Her goal in designing the app was to provide a place for those afraid to reach out.

Reese’s dream is to design a gown for an A-List celebrity who shares her passion for sustainability. She hopes to show that style and responsibility and coexist beautifully.
