French won the Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2004 title in a state pageant held in late 2003. It was her first attempt at the title. She went on to represent Arkansas in the Miss Teen USA 2004 pageant held in Palm Springs, California in August 2004. French did not place in the nationally televised pageant, which was won by Shelley Hennig of Louisiana, but she did win the Miss Photogenic award. This award, chosen by a public internet vote, is given to the delegate who most "exemplifies beauty through the lens of a camera".^[2]

French, a 2004 graduate of Lakeside High School in Arkansas, later moved to Columbia, Missouri to study Broadcast Journalism at the University of Missouri.^[3] While there she won the Miss Mid-Missouri title and competed for the Miss Missouri 2006 title, which she won. French is one of only a few Miss Teen USA delegates to win a Miss USA state title, and it is even more rare than she has held titles in different states.

French competed in the Miss America 2007 pageant broadcast live on CMT from the Aladdin Resort and Casino on January 29, 2007and won the Miss America 2007 Smile Award. Her platform is "Health and Fitness for Life".
