Our 2024 Ambassadors
We are excited for these ladies to represent Princeton over the next year. Below are our current Ambassador crew and an individual photo of each of them as well as what they are looking forward to during their year in crown and other things they are involved in.
Antonia Mujica – Princeton Ambassador
Antonia is a freshman at Anoka Ramsey Community College, hoping to go into forensic psychology. She enjoys being a Princeton Ambassador, especially getting introduced to new people and towns from all over Minnesota. Her favorite moments come from being part of the “sparkle section,” where she bonds with fellow ambassadors. However, seeing people of all ages light up when they see princesses sticks out more than anything. One unforgettable experience was during the St. Michael parade, where a young girl held a sign that read, “When I grow up, I want to be a princess.” Moments like these inspire Antonia, reminding her of the impact she can have on young girls’ dreams. This summer, her highlight was Sparkle Night at the Saints game, where she toured the baseball museum and learned about a pioneering female player with a name similar to hers. Antonia loves spending time with friends, family, and her dogs outside of her ambassador duties. To her, wearing a crown symbolizes her commitment to inspiring young girls and her pride in representing her hometown of Princeton.
Annabelle Lawrence – Princeton Ambassador
Annabelle is in 10th grade and attends Princeton High School. She has enjoyed her time as an ambassador because she gets to meet new people. Her favorite part is letting young kids try on her crown. Outside of her ambassador life she enjoys listening to music outside, playing with her rabbit and her dogs. Annabelle spends her time in various sports including volleyball, gymnastics, and diving. So far Annabelle’s favorite event has been the Hopkins Goosechase because she got to spend time with her ambassadors and get closer with other royalty. To Annabelle, wearing a crown means representing the ambassador program and being someone people can look up to.
Lana Hoppe – Princeton Junior Ambassador
Lana is in 6th grade at Princeton Middle School. She is excited to be representing the city of Princeton as a Junior Ambassador. So far she has enjoyed riding on the float in parades and attending other royalty’s community festivals.

When volunteering at local events she enjoys meeting new people and helping with activities such as face painting and applying tattoos for those who attend. Lana is involved in dance, softball, and basketball. In her free time, she enjoys drawing, painting, learning to crochet, and spending time with her friends. To Lana, wearing a crown means being respectful, helpful, sharing kindness, and making the others smile.

Sophia Shelley – Little Miss Princeton
Sophia is a 5th grader at Westwood Elementary in Zimmerman, Minnesota. She enjoys playing with her friends, doing arts and crafts of all types, and hanging out with her animals. Three dogs and one cat, to be exact! When time allows, she is involved in community theater, dance, and aerial gymnastics. She is always looking to explore new activities and sports! Stepping into her role as Little Miss Princeton has been a totally new and exciting, yet sometimes overwhelming and frightening experience for her, but she is overcoming and becoming more confident and closer to her fellow crown sisters as the days pass by. Sophia loves interacting with little kids at events. Volunteering is also a favorite because she loves to help! She is loving making new relationships and memories, and is having a blast! “To me, wearing a Crown means being a leader and being a kind person to others. And it also means being a role model to little kids!”
