Incorporating magic into her presentations at elementary schools, Bazella teaches students to recognize the signs of bullying and how to prevent it. She explains bullying has expanded from playground fights to cyberbullying on social media.
In addition to her duties as Pennsylvania’s Miss Junior High School America representative, Bazella serves as a cub member of the Emmaus Lioness Lions Club.
