Miss Earth United States Air Mae-Ann Webb (national first runner up) now assumes the position as Miss Earth United States.

 

The newly crowned Miss Earth United States shared her excitement on Facebook by quoting poet Gail Devers, “Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. With Corrin Stellakis being named to the Earth Elemental Court (Miss Earth Fire), I officially took on the prestigious title of Miss Earth United States 2016 this weekend in Washington, D.C.”

​

"We are grateful to showcase the passion and talents of both of these beautiful women," said Laura Clark, National Director of Miss Earth United States, who acquired the franchise in January 2016. "We celebrate the major achievements of Corrin and Mae-Ann and look forward to providing more opportunities to our entire national elemental court in the same fashion as Miss Earth."
