Five year old Elizabeth Mueller enjoys practicing her singing and pageant routines with her grandmother. They always enjoy a treat after their hard work. Elizabeth orders the same food—chicken fingers, carrot sticks, and an ice cold Shirley Temple with one cherry for dinner.

Elizabeth has been working extra hard lately. She is hoping to sing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in December, and she has been fundraising for the American Heart Association. Elizabeth is also a proud supporter of Spirit Therapies, a non-profit group dedicated to bettering the lives of disabled people with equestrian activities. She lives with her mom and dad, her younger brother William, and her dog Jack in Nevada.

Winning the Tiny Miss Elite USA title was absolutely thrilling for Elizabeth and her family. It was Elizabeth's first major pageant, and she was overjoyed to fly to Texas with all of her little costumes, her friends, her coach, and her family on the plane. Of course, Elizabeth loved the beautiful trophy and ridiculously gorgeous tiara, but she enjoyed Sea World with her Sister Queens even more! The pageant was so special and memorable because the Elite contestants were some of the most gracious, charming, and talented girls to have ever graced any stage. It is so lovely to be part of a sisterhood with such exquisite, encouraging young women.

We will forever feel gratitude for our time in Texas and are truly blessed to be part of Elite USA.
