Miss America, 2020 

Bio

Camille Schrier grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, eventually moving to Virginia to complete dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Systems Biology with honors from Virginia Tech. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy at Virginia Commonwealth University.

A science lover for life, in June 2019 Camille was selected as Miss Virginia after breaking from tradition to perform a highly engaging, entertaining and educational science demonstration, the “catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide” for the onstage talent competition. Her unique performance put a laser focus on women in STEM and sparked an enormous positive reaction, leading to a personal protective equipment sponsorship and a new STEM scholarship from an American chemical company. Camille traveled throughout Virginia inspiring thousands of students and became a sought-after keynote speaker in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

A national and international viral sensation, her story reached millions through The Today Show, Talk Stoop, CNN, BBC, The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS This Morning, Inside Edition, The Weather Channel, Southern Living, Canada’s CTV, Germany’s RTL, and many more.

A certified Naloxone trainer and future Doctor of Pharmacy, Schrier utilizes her platform to advocate for promote her social impact initiative, Mind Your Meds: Drug Safety and Abuse Prevention from Pediatrics to Geriatrics, with a strong focus on combating the opioid epidemic.

On December 19, 2019 competing live on NBC, Camille was named Miss America 2020, distinguishing her in the 100 year history of the organization as the only woman to ever win the job with the help of science. She further carved her legacy as the first Miss America to speak in the United Nations General Assembly. The only Miss America to ever face the challenge of serving her role through a pandemic and be fully grounded for an extended period, Camille travelled the country both physically and virtually advocating not only for her social impact initiative, Mind Your Meds: Drug Safety and Abuse Prevention from Pediatrics to Geriatrics, with a strong focus on combating the opioid epidemic, but also for the advancement of STEM education. Flexible, adaptable, creative, and resilient, she educated and advocated around substance use disorders and decreasing stigma, collaborated with the DEA & CDC for medication safety initiatives, and brought science to thousands of students, imprinting for young women that “if I can see it, I can be it” while normalizing for young men the image of powerful females in science roles. Facing the pandemic with a pioneering mindset, Camille created an at home studio which became the base for projects like “Cooking up Science with Miss America” with PBS VPM which she wrote, filmed and produced, and the “Mind Your Meds with Miss America” webinar series with Advanced Recovery Systems, as well as numerous keynote addresses, and appearances for STEM, pharmacy, and business conferences. 

As the first “virtual Miss America” she connected with key experts in the areas of opioids and STEM, as well as directly into science classrooms across the country reaching thousands of children, and used her platform and voice to continue to raise awareness of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder with which she was diagnosed at age 11. Innovative and entrepreneurial, in 2021 she launched of her own science educational brand, Her Royal Scientist, to continue to spread her message that “science is all around us” by exciting young minds about STEM, with emphasis on reaching underserved communities and normalizing femininity in the STEM world.

An avid outdoorswoman with a passion for all living creatures, she loves fishing, hiking, and walking her canine companion. She considers herself a foodie with an innate hunger for “experimenting” in her own kitchen since she was a young girl, and a craving to never miss an opportunity to experience local cuisine wherever he

As a Doctor of Pharmacy student and the first woman to win Miss America using a science demonstration as her talent, I am committed to showing the world that science is all around us. travels may take her.

The Game of Life. 

Kathleen is dedicated to having positive impact on the world by helping men and woman to question their core be.LIE.f's, becoming open and willing to see life as a Game to be played mindfully.

When you perceive life as a Game, you take control of your life, you find your definite of purpose and your true power. Kathleen's book, workbook and teachings open the portal of the consciousness to gain knowledge of our God given rights and self-reflection.

The time has come in The Game of Life where a major change is upon us, and a SHIFT in perception is required. For some this shift has been happening for a while and changes have been taking place, for others it's going to be more like a bucket of cold water being thrown on them.

I'm not sure where you are on the Game, but I am here to assist you. I can't do it for you. No one else can do it for you.

Only you can be the change you desire to see in the world you live in. You have the power to be that change.

YOU ARE A HERO!

Many have gone forth to pave the way and this means not only that it can be done, but they helped to make it easier. Think about an athlete who wants to break a record, someone is behind them following them to set new records all the time. This is to show it can be done and keep improving on the method to accomplish obtaining that goal that record.

Kathleen has been on a journey of self-discovery and finding inner strength. At times she got off the path, took detours. Made some stops that lasted too long in a pit hole that was not serving her highest best self. She had earth shattering times that rocked her to her core. At times it seemed like life threw ice cold water on her to shift her perception of how she saw a person or situation. She gives gratitude for all of her experiences because it made her who she is, which gave her the courage to move forward and to help others do the same.

You are not alone; support is all around you. Most important that support is inside you. As Glenda, the good witch in the Wizard of Oz said to Dorothy "You always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself."

Are you ready to unleash the power inside you?

Are you ready to become the hero you were born to be?

The time is now!

Let's play this Game and SHIFT to the next level together.

JULES

Jules is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter born in Atlanta, Georgia. When Jules was 3, she moved to Phoenix, Arizona whilst discovering her love for all-things music, dancing and creativity.

Growing up, her parents always played music by Train, John Mayer, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and countless other big-name artists, allowing Jules to become exposed to a variety of genres and voices at a young age. Those same legendary artists slowly became Jules’ musical influences, especially when she began playing guitar at the age of 8 and writing her own songs at the age of 10.

In March of 2018, a 14 year old Jules released her 6-song debut EP, Marvelous Misconceptions. After working on the short album for a year, she started to develop her own writing style and soon began recording new music. This new material turned into her second release, which was an ambient guitar-stricken pop single by the name of Something’s Different, in the fall of that same year.

While still attending school, Jules took time in 2019 to get as much performing and writing experience as possible. In early 2020, Jules made her worldwide appearance auditioning for season 18 of NBC’s The Voice, making it into the second round of the show at 15 years old. Now 18, Jules continues to get back into the booth, laying down hits waiting to be heard in the big leagues. Follow Jules as she takes the music world by storm, one song at a time.
