Caressa, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµapp of Virginia alum, won the title of Miss America 2010. Caressa has also been a valued employee of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµapp in the education department where she has excelled as a teacher of the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµapp program and as an inspirational speaker to high school and middle school teens.
In the Summer 2010 edition of Pageantry Magazine, Caressa had this to say about her ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµapp training:
“When I was younger, my mother and my aunt put me into the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµapp program. They thought it would be cool for me to do something that would teach life skills, makeup, and etiquette. It’s so much more than just a modeling program, and that’s something a lot of people don’t know…it was an opportunity that gave me life skills that are absolutely unparalleled.â€
