Nicole Macchio: What was required for you to win Miss Emerald Isle?

Kelly Scianna: I sent in a photo of myself and an essay in regards to my Irish Heritage, school activities, and community service. I also included why I would like to be Miss Emerald Isle in 2016.

NM: What was the next step of the process?

KS: I was interviewed about what I wrote, and about how I would fulfill the duties of Miss Emerald Isle.

NM: What will you have to do now that you’ve won?

KS: Some duties I will be involved in are to help fundraise for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and to make appearances at Milford festivals like the Oyster Festival, Woodmont Day, and the Irish Festival.

NM: What made you want to apply for this honor?

KS: Since I was 5, I always wanted to be Miss Emerald Isle. I saw her in the parade, and ever since then, I had worked towards coveting the crown. Even at my coronation, the Parade Chairman, Marty Hardiman, jokingly said, “She’s been saying she wanted to be Miss Emerald Isle since she was crawling.” Being a Miss Emerald Isle is not only a great opportunity, but it also involves a greater sense of community that lasts a lifetime.

NM: How did you learn about the contest? 

KS: Being Irish, I went to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade every year. When I was 5, I remember being mesmerized when I saw Miss Emerald Isle and I was determined to accomplish this honor ever since.
