My name is Melissa Minton and I am the 21 year old daughter of Dwight and Betty Minton.
I have two brothers, David and Mark, a sister in law, Jessica, two nephews, Isaac and Brody, and a niece, Zoe! I am very family oriented and love to be with them!
Pageants have not always been apart of my life. I did not start competing in pageant until I was in the 8th grade. I am very athletic and have played sports my whole life trying to follow in my older brothers footsteps. I played soccer, volleyball, softball, ran cross country and track. I have many local, state, and national title in my different sports. I now play soccer for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and have a full paid athletic and academic scholarships.
I hope this gives you a little look as to who I am without a crown and banner on.
Thanks for stopping by!
