Nova Kopp: As Transcontinental® Ms. Universe 2019, I can continue my work as a philanthropist and an ambassador for victims of domestic violence. I work to increase education and funding through Hillside Atlanta, which spreads awareness about the needs of children affected by mental illness, trauma, abuse and neglect. As a domestic violence survivor, I share my personal story and knowledge of overcoming abuse. As an advocate for women and children dealing with domestic violence, I provide training and tools to individuals as they begin their emotional healing and lives abuse-free. Also, I am a national spokeswoman for, a domestic violence awareness campaign with a focus on preventing violence toward women, children, men and animals. This includes helping to raise over $2.1 million for foster care and domestic violence. The money raised was critical to helping organizations reach more families. As an Alpharetta resident, Nova’s favorite places to go are Atlantic Seafood, Cabernet and the shops at Avalon.
