Meet the #MissDelaware Contestants: Sophie Phillips
Name: Sophie Phillips
Title: Miss Dewey BeachÂ
Platform: Women is STEMÂ
Talent: Piano
Interesting Fact: I've completed two 100-mile bike rides to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I was able to raise over $9,000!
What you are looking most forward to for Miss DE week: I'm most looking forward to bonding with the other contestants. Everyone has been amazing so far, and I can't wait to spend a whole week getting to know them better.Â
Women are underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. As a scientist and a woman, the unequal distribution of men and women in the classroom, as well as the professional world, frustrates me. I have dedicated my year of service to closing this gap and sparking the interest of young girls. These fields are so important and beyond exciting! The world as a whole will benefit greatly from an increase of women in STEM. 🔬ðŸ”
