There She Is

Check out my ongoing series profiling some of the smartest, hardest working, most talented women in the state of Nebraska: the teenagers and young women competing for the titles of Miss Nebraska and Miss Nebraska’s Outstanding Teenager. This series of blog posts, beginning in the Spring of 2014, has drawn tens of thousands of readers from 102 countries. These women exemplify what the Miss America Organization stands for in our communities: scholarship, success, style and service.
