Hello Southwest Michigan Family!

My name is Brianna McQuistine Gleason and I am excited to begin my journey as Miss Southwest Michigan 2018. I would like to introduce myself. I am 20 years old and I recently completed my sophomore year at Southwestern Michigan College. I am working towards an elementary education degree.

Hello Southwest Family,

My name is Ashley Lynn Little and I am Miss Southwest Michigan Teen 2018. I’m 15 years old and from Coloma. I attend Coloma High School as a freshman also known as a 9th grader. I have 3 siblings, an older brother Zachary, an older sister Alyssa, and a little brother, the baby of the bunch Anthony. I live with my parents Jason and Crystal Little, two of my siblings Alyssa and Anthony and our two dogs Haley and Diesel. Over my year of service I have, and will continue to advocate for Alzheimer's Awareness.

Dear Southwest Friends and Family,

My name is London Adrianne Jolynn Tucker and I am in sixth grade at St. Paul’s Lutheran School. I’m eleven years old.  My parents are Mike and Nichole Tucker of South Haven.  I have three brothers: Michael, Tyler and Cole and three sisters: Halie, Ciara and Ireland.  I am thrilled to be a part of an organization that helps young girls like myself develop the self-confidence necessary to become a caring individual who will be of service to others in their community.

Dear Southwest Friends and Family,

My name is Makenna Kate O’Donoghue and I am nine years old.   I am finishing up third grade at EP Clarke Elementary School in St Joseph, Michigan.  My parents are Mark and Kim O’Donoghue. I have one sister, Kennedy, she is three years old.   I am so excited to have been crowned Southwest Michigan’s Princess for 2018!  I think the Southwest program is so great because they teach young girls like myself the confidence and leadership skills that are necessary to become future leaders.
