This is Amanda Wester’s second appearance in the Miss Teen Idaho International Pageant. When asked, Amanda stated that she loves this pageant system because there is no swimsuit or talent competition. However, she also stated that she does have talent and likes to express that talent through several hobbies, which include; acting, playing violin and bass, sewing, jewelry making, crafts, and cooking. Cooking happens to be Amanda’s favorite talent and it is her love of cooking that led to her platform, Share Our Strength (SOS).
