Madison started competing in pageants at the age of 17. Never knowing this was the path she would take, she was pleasantly surprised how quickly she fell in love with competing and how much she grew as a person. The last 10 years she has been able to see the benefits of competing come to life. Madison attended Northwest Nazarene University where she graduated from the school of Communication. Her background is in public relations, broadcast, public speaking and marketing. She is on a mission to share what she has learned and create a community where others can feel loved and supported as they chase after their dreams. Madison loves Jesus, traveling with her husband, all things outdoors, trying new recipes in the kitchen and working out. 

Elva became involved in the pageant world through her daughter, Madison. When she saw how much growth happened she knew she had to continue to be apart and support others. Elva is an active volunteer in the Miss America Organization, has worked in her local school district for the last 21 years and has been involved in several local non-profit organizations. She has been married to her husband for 38 years and has three grown children. Some of her favorite things are exploring new coffee shops, crafting and playing with her 2 grandchildren Clara and Jonah.
