She is deeply grateful to the community members who have made a lasting impact on her life, she loved being Miss Kalkaska where she had an opportunity to give back to her hometown.

With strong family roots in agriculture, including grandparents and great-grandparents that were farmers. Aubrey has a deep appreciation for the local farming communities. She is excited for the opportunity to bring awareness and recognition to the local cherry farmers of Michigan.
