Miss Pennsylvania USA 2023 is Jasmine Daniels
Jasmine Daniels, representing Collegeville, was crowned Miss Pennsylvania USA 2023 on Sunday, April 16 at the Richland Performing Arts Center in Johnstown.
The 26-year-old client manager who holds a degree in fashion merchandising from Immaculata University bested over 50 other competitors to win the state title. She will now represent the "Keystone State" at Miss USA 2023 in Reno, Nevada later this year.
Elizabeth Voight (Fredericksburg) was announced the first runner-up while Aleisha Stas (Latrobe), Alyssa Gallagher (South Uniontown), Leigha Pertz (Lawrenceville), and Gami-Lou Beli (Robinson) were named the second, third, fourth, and fifth runners-up, respectively.
Miss Allegheny County, Maggie Ross, clinched the title of Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA 2023. She will now proceed to the Miss Teen USA 2023 pageant.
The runners-up for the teens' division include Alyssa Boyer, Stephanie Skinner, Alyssa Dass, Manasa Reddy Sanivarapu, and Camryn Sacco.
Last year's winners, Billie LaRaé Owens and Alexandra Jones relinquished their reigns and crowned their respective successors at the end of the event.
No stranger to pageantry, the new Miss Pennsylvania USA is a former Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA winner who placed in the Top 15 at Miss Teen USA 2015 held in Nassau, The Bahamas.
"I am so overwhelmed with emotions. Thank you to everyone everywhere who has shown love and support, and for sharing this moment with me," Jasmine wrote on social media.
"Wow, I have the opportunity to become Miss USA. My younger self is so proud. I can't wait to bring you all along on my journey and share with you the many pieces of me," she added.
