She is a 19 year old college student and dean's list student , currently attending the University of Maine in Orono and pursuing a B.S. in Kinesiology. No stranger to pageantry, Shannon was also the Maine's MAOT (Miss America's Outstanding Teen) in 2008.
Miss Folsom, who is studying kinesiology and pre-med, will receive a $10,000 college scholarship, plus a generous wardrobe and prizes totaling over $25,000 for her year of service traveling the nation promoting healthy lifestyles and the value of education.
