I look forward to the opportunities that will arise this year as I represent my university, promote my platform and participate in the Miss Alabama Pageant,” Spain said.

As Miss UMobile, Spain will participate in alumni activities, dedications, receptions, various community and student events and serve as the official hostess of the university.
