It was her second attempt at the title, as she placed as a semi-finalist in the 2002 event.[1] Austin represented Nebraska in the Miss USA 2004 pageant but failed to place.[citation needed]

Austin began her broadcasting career[when?] as a sports intern for KETV in Omaha, Nebraska, covering Nebraska Cornhuskers football and Omaha Mavericks men's ice hockey.[citation needed] In 2012, she won a Capital Emmy award for a documentary of the Washington Capitals season which she hosted.[7][8] She worked as host of the Capitals Red Line program between 2010[9] and 2013.[10][11]
