For one Alaskan, the month of January
is not just the start of a new year, but the
beginning of new possibilities. UAA
student Stephanie Jeffers, a 23-year-old
theater major, is the state's 50th Miss
Alaska, and in the last week of the
month, she will be in Las Vegas for the
78th annual Miss America Pageant.
"Stephanie is very ambitious and very
spirited," director of the Miss Alaska
Scholarship Foundation, Bonnie Faulk
said. "She's a highly intelligent young
woman and can articulate what she needs
to say very easily."
Jeffers started competing in the Miss
Alaska pageant to earn scholarship
money for school. After completing a
Biology degree at Whitworth College
in Spokane, Washington, she returned
home to Alaska and gave the pageant
another shot. |
