As a 4-H participant, Xanthi was (and still is) a renaissance woman, participating in activities ranging from Leadership to Civic Engagement, Fashion to Shooting Sports, and practically everything in between. As a volunteer now, she is a Co-Advisor for the Strafford County Youth Leadership Team. She mentors Strafford County’s finest Teen participants in community service activities, leadership development, and planning county events. This is a full-circle leadership experience for her, as she was part of the inaugural Strafford County Youth Leadership Team 10 years ago. She also works on the New Hampshire 4-H Communications Team. Her role in this capacity is mentoring 4-H participants across the state as they compete at the county, state, and regional levels in communications platforms such as public speaking, fashion, video production, demonstrations, and 4-H Action Exhibits. She plans to pursue a career as an Attorney with a specialty in Real Estate and Contracts Law. A true hometown girl, she is honored to represent New Hampshire with pride! 
Meet our Miss New Hampshire, Xanthi Russell! With a name meaning “Sunshine,” she promises to spread light, leadership, and positivity as she serves the Granite State. Her Community Service Initiative, 4-H + 5 Pillars = The Leadership Equation and is all about promoting 4-H and Miss America as valuable leadership programs as she dismantles the misconceptions that surround each brand. Xanthi champions the 4-Hs and 5 Pillars as her personal core values and brings her passion for leadership to each and every event she attends.
