Miss Santaquin

Miss Santaquin Molly Mortensen grew up in a home where pageants were always talked about. Her relatives hosted and participated in Miss Santaquin and Miss Utah. Molly enjoyed watching pageants more than anything in the world, but she never imagined that she would be in one.

After two years of convincing, Mortensen finally decided to compete in the Miss Santaquin pageant, and not a day goes by where she regrets her decision.

Mortensen was thrilled to instantly serve her community through her Social Impact Initiative: “Find Confidence, Make the World Your Stage.” After going through a battle of finding her own self-confidence, she became very passionate about this topic and finds joy in helping others discover their most confident self.

One of the ways Mortensen has been promoting her initiative is by choreographing and teaching line dances to different groups in her community. After her first time teaching line dancing, she posted about her experience on social media and now finds herself busy teaching plenty of different groups.

She also planning an “Adult Prom” that took place in February. She believes people find confidence when they are learning new things and getting out of their comfort zones.

Mortensen has been serving her community monthly by visiting elementary schools, judging science fairs, visiting and serving food to senior citizens, attending and helping out at events put on by businesses in town, and performing songs with a young group of middle

She is currently a freshman attending Snow College in Ephraim with a major in social work. In her free time, she loves fishing, hiking, yoga, dancing and hanging out with her family and friends.

Mortensen’s attendants, Jade Haymore (first attendant) and Karen Rowley (second attendant), have also contributed many hours helping to serve the community with her. They have had so much fun serving together. They helped out at Santaquin’s 9/11 breakfast, the city center groundbreaking, a Halloween walk, the Rowley’s Red Barn Pumpkin Patch, a Christmas light parade and much more. They are looking forward to meeting more people and doing all they can to serve their community.
