Miss River Oaks Teen USA

Elle Millett (pictured) was named Miss River Oaks Teen USA, in a pageant associated with the Miss Universe system. She recently graduated from Texas Virtual Academy at Hallsville and will attend Vanderbilt University this fall, majoring in medicine, health, and society. The pageant experience has given her important life experiences, including interview skills and time management, and has also provided a way for her to promote awareness of dysautonomia. After a traumatic car crash, Elle was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition that disrupts the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions. She is working with Dysautonomia International to host Texas’ first 5k walk/run in Houston, to raise awareness of the condition.
