Mathis’ platform is “Heart Health and Heart Safety” and she said she hoped to work with the American Heart Association and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to raise awareness for heart health during her year as Miss Georgia.[5][6] Her competition talent was a vocal rendition of Carrie Underwood's “I Know You Won't.”[7] Mathis graduated with a degree in digital and broadcast journalism from the University of Georgia in May 2013.[4]

She later became a "Double-Dawg" by graduating in 2018, passed the Georgia Bar Exam, and is now a practicing attorney in Atlanta. Mathis' mother, Wendy Gillespie, was Miss Albany 1985.[4][8]

Mathis, 22, came close to the title last year, when she was named as first runner-up. She doesn't regret the loss, however — she was excited to be given the chance to improve her performance in the following year, and to support the 2012 winner, Leighton Jordan.
