No words can describe the feeling of having the opportunity to serve my community and represent my community for the very first time at Miss New Hampshire. I am so honored to be crowned your new Miss Greater Derry 2023, and I am thrilled to show you all what I have up my sleeves. This will be an amazing year [sic]โ€ However, not everyone seems as happy as Brian Nguyenโ€™s fellow participants who graciously cheered for her win.
