Amelia wants to promote the importance of oral health and to increase the visibility and interest in the Miss Georgia Outstanding Teen program, "I would like to speak in the majority of the counties in the state of Georgia, and I want to use the MGOT program to encourage my peers to embrace their passions to make a positive impact for others. I want to lead by example and speak to organizations and legislatures state-wide and raise funds for Smiles Across America to redistribute into Georgia to advance early and proper dental care."
