NAM Miss Virginia Preteen

Hey, I'm Lauron!

Hi, I'm Lauron! 👋

Welcome to my website! I'm so happy you're here.

My name is Lauron Dula, and I'm honored to serve as the 2026 National American Miss Virginia Preteen. This incredible journey has given me the opportunity to represent Virginia while meeting amazing people, serving my community, and encouraging other young people to believe in themselves.

My personal motto is:

Be Bold. Be Bright. Never Back Down.

To me, being bold means having the courage to try new things and stand up for what's right.

Being bright means continuing to learn, grow, and share kindness with others.

And never backing down means believing in yourself—even when something feels difficult—and always giving your very best.

Those three words inspire everything I do.

Through my platform, Dream Big. Lead Boldly. Serve Joyfully., I hope to encourage young people to discover their confidence, develop leadership skills, and make a positive difference in their communities. I believe every child has a unique purpose, and when we encourage one another, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.

Throughout my year as Miss Virginia Preteen, I'm excited to visit schools, community events, and organizations across Virginia to promote literacy, leadership, volunteerism, and confidence. One of my biggest dreams is to grow this mission into future leadership camps, reading initiatives, and programs that help young people discover the leader inside themselves.

When I'm not volunteering or making appearances, you'll usually find me playing volleyball, modeling, acting, reading, traveling with my family, or spending time with my friends. I love meeting new people, trying new adventures, and making memories wherever I go!

Thank you so much for visiting my website and joining me on this journey. I hope you'll follow along as I represent Virginia, serve my community, and continue growing into the leader God created me to be.

Remember...
