Daytona Beach resident Lola Manley has been selected to represent Daytona Beach at the Miss Florida Teen USA competition in May.

A junior at Spruce Creek High School, Manley was selected based on her academic standing, involvement in her community, passion for the pursuit of excellence and her interest in empowering other young women, according to a press release. She is a member of the SCHS Finance Academy and treasurer for her class. Recently, she was selected for an internship with Launch Credit Union.

Manley is active in her church's youth group and volunteers with programs benefitting young children. She grew up performing in musical theater, but these days, her main passion is Hapkido, the press release states. She is working on her green belt, and in her free time, Manley enjoys music, the beach and spending time with friends and family.

The winner of Miss Florida Teen USA, produced by Girlbossing Inc., will advance to compete at the Miss Teen USA pageant. The Miss Florida Teen USA pageant will be held May 12-14 at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts.
