Miss New Hampshire 2025,
Xanthi Russell!

Meet Xanthi!
For the last 7 years, I have pursued this program with my whole heart. I’ve soaked up every moment, lesson, friendship and trial with a true love for everything this program stands for. As a 4-H Alumni and volunteer, it only felt right to advocate for my favorite leadership programs throughout this journey, using my platform as a local and now state titleholder to educate the public, dismantle misconceptions and influence the next generation of leaders. I am beyond honored to have been given the opportunity to further expand my Community Service Initiative: 4-H + 5 Pillars = The Leadership Equation. I am so eager to put my Action Plan to work, recruiting for and serving both organizations as my full time job this year! After graduating with my degree in Paralegal Studies in just two weeks, I am committed to being Miss New Hampshire 24/7 to take advantage of every moment in this once in a lifetime opportunity!
