Miss Kentucky represents the Kentucky Department of Agriculture as a spokesperson for the Teen and Tobacco program, "No Ifs, Ands, or Butts – It's the Law." She visits schools throughout the Commonwealth to teach students about the laws and penalties pertaining to tobacco use and possession by minors. This program was enacted in 1996 to prevent the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18.
Mitchell’s platform during the Miss Kentucky Pageant was “Excellence through Education – The New Three R's.” The R’s stand for Relationships, Real-world learning, and Rewards.
The 21-year-old Eastern Kentucky University senior is majoring in English education. She is the daughter of Steve and Doris Mitchell of Barbourville.
