Miss GRAND

Congratulations, Cora! How does it feel to be the newly crowned Miss Grand USA? It feels surreal and humbling. My hard work and dedication have led me to this incredible platform and I’m grateful for the amazing opportunity to represent my country on the international stage.

Can you tell us more about the process and how you got involved? I started competing in pageants as a teenager and it took four years to win my first title. The journey has been filled with growth, learning and an ever-deepening love for the art of pageantry. I’ve leveraged my experiences to build a career and now I’m thrilled to represent the USA on the international stage.

Tell us more about yourself. I grew up in a small town with big dreams. My passion for being on stage led me to modelling and eventually into pageantry. After earning my degree in political science from Auburn University, I moved to Atlanta where I became Miss Georgia USA and competed at Miss USA in 2021. My journey took an exciting turn when I became an editor-in-chief, but the stage called me back. In 2024, I was crowned Miss Grand Georgia and now I’m thrilled to represent the USA on the international stage. It’s been a decade-long journey, but every step has prepared me for this moment.
