"When I first started competing in pageants, I did it because it looked like fun."
The beauty queen lives and works at Down East Magazine in Portland, Maine. Growing up, she spent most of her time on a boat with her family in West Bath, ME. Heather has a love for the outdoors and two of her favorite hobbies include fishing and hiking.
When warm weather is not around, Heather can be found performing one of her seven instruments. She was chosen as one of seven flautists to attend Florida State University's College of Music where she obtained two college degrees in Music and Economics.
"I plan to use my year as Miss Maine USA 2015 to break the mold of what others don’t see, and that is a woman who is genuine and works hard. "
She now actively volunteers at the Children's Hospital to perform music as a type of therapy to children with cancer.
