Alma Cooper, a U.S. Army officer from Michigan, has been crowned Miss USA and will now represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2024 competition in November, CNN reports.
Cooper outshone 50 other contestants in the swimsuit, evening gown, and intellectual competitions. She holds a Master of Science degree in Data Science from Stanford University.
“As the daughter of a migrant laborer, a proud Afro-Latina, and a U.S. Army officer, I am living the American dream. If my life and my mother have taught me anything, it’s that circumstances never define your destiny: you can make success attainable by demanding excellence,” she told the judges during the Q&A session.
The crown was placed on Alma by Miss USA 2023 Savannah Hankevich, following the resignation of Noelia Voigt from Utah.
The 22-year-old Alma Cooper has a Master of Science degree from Stanford University and graduated with honors from the U.S. Military Academy, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences. Her main goal is to make quality food products accessible to all people in the country.
