Charlotte Witt is the twenty-second Miss Tennessee's Teen. A resident of Brentwood, Tennessee, she previously held the titles of Miss West Tennessee's Teen and Miss Nashville's Teen and is an incoming freshman at the University of Tennessee, where she plans to major in nursing. A member of the National Honor Society, Charlotte has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school while balancing her academics with her commitment to service and performance. Through the Miss America Opportunity, Charlotte has received full-ride scholarships to University of Alabama, Mississippi State University and Troy University, while developing the confidence, discipline, and leadership skills that continue to shape her academic and personal goals.
Charlotte is passionate about service through her Community Service Initiative, "Access for All: Healthcare with No Boundaries," which focuses on educating communities about the social drivers of health — factors such as transportation, education, financial stability, food access, and proximity to care — that shape a person's ability to live a healthy life. Charlotte believes that increasing awareness of the resources already available across Tennessee can be just as impactful as creating new ones, and her initiative aims to amplify the work already being done rather than duplicate it. Through partnerships with healthcare professionals, schools, nonprofits, state agencies, and community leaders, she connects individuals and families with the local, state, and nonprofit resources available to them, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and advocate for themselves and their loved ones. Her hope is simple: healthcare should never depend on what you know, where you live, or whether you know where to ask for help.
Charlotte's talent and dedication earned her recognition throughout the Miss Tennessee's Teen competition, including a preliminary award for evening wear. She also placed among the top competitors for public relations, having secured thousands of dollars in ad sales and sponsorships in support of the program's scholarship mission.
As a performer, Charlotte has spent years training in dance, and she chose jazz for her talent because it allows her to bring energy, personality, and skill to the stage while showcasing the confidence and hard work behind her training.
Known for her heart for service, her drive for excellence, and her belief that everyone deserves access to care, education, and support, Charlotte looks forward to spending her year as Miss Tennessee's Teen traveling the Volunteer State, encouraging health education and community collaboration as she prepares to represent Tennessee at the Miss America's Teen competition in West Palm Beach this September.
