As winner of the pageant, which is in its 88th year, she receives a $50,000 college scholarship to which she is currently a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Caressa had this to say after winning the title of Miss Virginia, “Barbizon is so amazing! Thanks for everything.” She graduated in 2002 from the Vienna, Virginia Center and then went on to win the top award at a local modeling competition. Caressa has been a valued employee of Barbizon in our education department where she has excelled as a teacher of the Barbizon program and as an inspirational speaker to high school and middle school teens.
