She’s not just a pretty face. In fact, 18-year-old Lindsey Brinton is much more…she’s America’s Junior Miss 2008 and a soon to be freshman at Harvard with an impressive list of talents and accomplishments.

Lindsey is an international award-winning pianist who has performed on five of seven continents and at Carnegie Hall and a humanitarian who has traveled to the tops of the Andes Mountains to build a school. She assisted her father in diabetic eye screenings on Indian reservations, and now, Lindsey can now add America’s Junior Miss 2008 to her list of accomplishments.

The Utah teen won the title on June 28, in Mobile, Alabama, earning more than $62,000 and the official AJM gold medallion. In addition to her talents and accomplishments, Lindsey has also danced with The Joffrey Ballet and The Juilliard Summer Dance Program, was selected as a feature dancer in Disney’s “High School Musical 3”, and has performed as a guest soloist on the Young Concert Artists Series in Naples, Italy. She served as Student Body President of her inner city high school, was on the Varsity Basketball and Tennis teams, and was named a William Randolph Hearst U.S. Senate Scholar. In December, Lindsey will perform in a Gala Benefit Concert in Asuncion, Paraguay at the invitation of the Prime Minister and First Lady.

As America’s Junior Miss 2008, Lindsey will promote the Be Your Best Self program to young people across America. The BYBS program is the official platform of AJM and promotes self esteem and overall excellence through its 5 elements: Be Healthy, Be Involved, Be Studious. Be Ambitious, and Be Responsible. Lindsey hopes to use her talents and accomplishments to encourage young people to be their best selves.
