Biography

She figure skated as a child.[1] Austin graduated cum laude with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Oklahoma City University. She received an award from the Oklahoma Broadcaster’s Association, was a Congressional Intern and studied international media in London.[citation needed]
Austin won the Miss Nebraska USA 2004 title in a state pageant held in late 2003.[2] During her reign, she spoke to thousands of school children and toured the USS Nebraska submarine and Camp Pendleton. It was her second attempt at the title, as she placed as a semi-finalist in the 2002 event. Austin represented Nebraska in the Miss USA 2004 pageant but failed to place.[citation needed]
