Graci Hudson
C.O.O
A native of Albemarle, NC, Graci loves spending her free time at her local Volunteer Fire Department where she is a North Carolina state certified EMT and volunteer firefighter and spending time with her family and friends when she is not shopping!
Graci is a three-time graduate of Stanly Community College where she holds multiple degrees, certifications and diplomas. She began clerical work at the age of 16 and has worked in it ever since; presently as an Administrative Assistant.
In 2018, Graci found her passion for pageantry and decided that it was, what most would call a "safe place", for her. She found the confidence that was within her and since finding that passion, she has given many speeches and publicly spoken in many places across North Carolina. In 2020, Graci accepted the Lifetime Ambassador title where she served countless hours, day after day in her community through her title.
Graci hopes to continue to share her love and passion for pageantry through helping many other beautiful young ladies find their love, passion, and confidence.
