Annie Dauk is incredibly honored to be your Miss Kentucky’s Outstanding Teen 2022. She is currently 16 years old and attends the number one public high school in the state, duPont Manual/Youth Performing Arts School. There, she takes classes for both academics and musical theater. Since the second grade, musical theater has been one of her many passions. She spends nearly 30 hours a week singing, acting, and dancing. She hopes to one day attend college with a double major in Musical Theater and Business. Aside from musical theater she also spends her time with the Kentucky Youth Assembly, where she served as the Lt. Governor in 2022, is a member of the Student Senate, and serves senior citizens through Senior Smiles Kentucky.
In 2020, Annie founded Senior Smiles Kentucky, a community service organization dedicated to bettering the lives of senior citizens by improving their connections to the community. Senior Smiles Kentucky serves as an umbrella organization for multiple projects. This includes both live and virtual performances of Senior Smiles and Songs and delivery of hundreds of goody bags and cards through Senior Smiles and Sweets. Annie has had the opportunity to assist with crafts and other projects in senior living facilities and recruit her peers for a Senior Smiles Ambassador program. Finally, she has spread this message through presentations to local school groups.
She is beyond excited to help the community in every way she possibly can and represent the amazing Commonwealth of Kentucky!
