Hello, my name is Amy Rottero and I am your Mrs. Tennessee America 2023!
This year I look forward to serving our state by supporting all of the charitable efforts already established, as well as partnering with a charity very close to my heart, Queens Closet. Queens closet is dedicated to providing gowns, hair & makeup services, and accessories to underprivileged young women & communities. We aim to create a space for young girls to have a positive self image and resources to allow them to have positive experiences that will last a lifetime. Our efforts work in tandem with the national platform, Victoria’s Voice. Pageantry is so much more than dresses and headshots, it’s a space to come together as women and be a force of good for our communities. I aim to do just that. Thank you for all of the love and support this year! It’s an honor to serve & represent Tennessee.

Hello my name is Kayla and I am your Mrs. Tennessee American and I'm taking the state by storm. I am a proud wife, mom, and Christian and am advocating across Tennessee for Trade Jobs and Programs for the next generation. Coming from a hard working family of teachers, farmers, and truck drivers, and a graduate from trade school myself, I know the importance of hard work, family, and how to create your own success even if it doesn't look traditional. I am very eager to teach and help others on their path to success but most importantly I want to drive home the importance of family, especially with our grade school and college aged students. I am beyond proud to be serving Tennessee this year and can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds for me!

Hi all! My name is Claire Portilla and I am your Miss Tennessee for America 2023!
I am from Chattanooga, Tennessee and grew up on Signal Mountain. I adore my community filled with family and friends and am so proud to not just represent Chattanooga but our entire state of Tennessee. This year I am excited to support the Victoria's Voice Foundation with the America Pageant
Organization. Currently, I work closely with the Bethlehem Center who have 4 sister organizations across our state. It is my goal in making children feel loved and seen. With this being my first year competing, I hope to encourage other young women to follow in their dreams even if it’s new and scary. I hope to become a role model and
mentor to young women and children, preaching anything is possible
and no dream is too small.
