Air Force Pilot Makes History Winning Beauty Pageant
Marsh’s path to success included three evenings of preliminary competitions before narrowing down the field to 11 competitors.
The remaining contestants engaged in competition across four categories before the 22-year-old emerged as the winner. This victory follows Marsh’s earlier success in winning the Miss Colorado 2023 beauty pageant a year ago. Currently pursuing a master’s degree at the Harvard Kennedy School through the Air Force Institute of Technology’s Civilian Institution Programs, Marsh hails from Arkansas, according to the U.S. Air Force.
In the aftermath of her win, the U.S. Air Force expressed congratulations on social media, recognizing her as the first active-duty servicemember to ever claim the Miss America title. In a FOX News interview last week, Marsh expressed gratitude for the U.S. Military’s support in realizing her dream of competing and winning the Miss America crown.
Marsh emphasized the significance she finds in “being a leader in the military” and “being a leader in pageantry,” highlighting her commitment to challenging stereotypes for young women globally.
