NC is home to countless native & migrating birds, but only one of them is the state’s official avian ambassador: the Northern cardinal. The brilliant red songbird was formally recognized by the NC General Assembly in 1943, due to the beneficial services it provides for the environment, including keeping farms and gardens free of harmful plants and insects.
Due to my love for my state and all things red, it was only fitting that I chose to represent the Cardinal State at the Royalty USA National Scholarship Pageant. I can’t wait to meet all the contestants in just a few short days!
