USOA WISCONSIN QUEENS

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S TEEN WISCONSIN

Hello everyone! My name is Alexis Ullrich and I am a 16-year-old junior at Baraboo High School proudly serving as your newly crowned USOA Teen Wisconsin 2026. I am honored to represent my state and use my voice to make a meaningful impact on my community and beyond.

I aspire to attend a four-year university, where I plan to major in marine biology. I have always had a deep love and respect for animals, and I hope to turn that passion into a career dedicated to protecting and preserving marine life.

My platform, Teens for Seniors, focuses on the importance of generational bonding, kindness, and connection. Through this platform, I work to bridge the gap between teens and seniors by encouraging meaningful interactions, service, and mutual understanding. I believe that when generations come together, we create stronger communities built on empathy, respect, and shared experiences.

In my spare time, I have been a competitive dancer for over a decade, a journey that has shaped my discipline, confidence, and work ethic. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, attending concerts, traveling, and making memories wherever I go. Above all, I absolutely love animals of every kind, which continues to inspire my future goals.

Pageantry has taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, perseverance, leadership, and hard work. It has empowered me to step outside my comfort zone and has encouraged me to inspire and uplift those around me. As your USOA Teen Wisconsin 2026, I am committed to being a positive role model and using my title to create lasting change.
