Pageant winner settles into her new sash


Miss Indiana enjoys community service new position requires


It's been four days since Ball State student Nicole Rash was crowned Miss Indiana yet it's only just starting to sink in. Rash talked to The Daily News about her experiences in pageants, her hopes for the next year and what comes next.


Q: What do you like about competing in pageants?


"I just love the community involvement that they have. Obviously the scholarships help tremendously. Last year I received a bunch of scholarships through Ball State and the Miss Indiana organization to help pay for my education. But really being involved with the community - I have a platform in language arts barriers - I get to interact with Hispanic and Spanish-speaking people and helping them and seeing their lives be changed."


Q: Do you view Miss Indiana as a way to make a difference?


"It's a good vehicle to use - a good way of getting in there and getting the contacts you need. Having a face and name that's more well-known, rather than just coming off the street - it definitely helps."
