Peyton Christen – Miss Georgia Volunteer 2026

Peyton Christen’s journey to the Miss Georgia Volunteer crown is powered by passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart. What started as a love for the spotlight at age 14 has blossomed into a mission to make a difference—on stage, in the classroom, and throughout her community.

A proud graduate of Kennesaw State University with a degree in Biology, Peyton is now on the path to becoming a Physician Associate specializing in Pediatrics. Her goal? To blend her love of science with her deep compassion for children and families.

Her service initiative, A4E: Art for Everyone / Employment for All, is close to her heart. Peyton believes art is a universal language—and a powerful way to promote inclusion and opportunity. Through A4E, she champions creative expression and meaningful employment for individuals with special needs, making sure every person’s unique talents are seen and celebrated.

Now, as Miss Georgia Volunteer, Peyton is excited to bring her voice, vision, and vibrant energy to the national stage at Miss Volunteer America this June. She’s ready to represent Georgia with pride, advocate with purpose, and shine a light on what it means to serve with heart.
